How much does a new roof cost?
Straight answers on residential roof replacement pricing for Edgewood, KY homeowners.
Your roof is getting old and you see quotes that are all over the place. You just want to know what a fair price looks like for a house your size in Edgewood. Not a sales pitch, just real numbers.
Roof prices swing a lot because no two homes are the same. The size of your roof, how steep the pitch is, and the type of shingle all change the final number. If your house has multiple layers of old shingles, tearing them off adds labor and disposal fees.
For a typical Edgewood home with asphalt shingles, a full tear-off and replacement runs roughly $8,000 to $15,000. Metal roofing costs more. The only way to pin down your price is to have someone measure your roof and inspect what is underneath. A written estimate breaks down materials, labor, and cleanup so you see exactly what you pay for.
Get at least two written estimates this week. Ask each contractor to itemize the work. TruRoof gives you a detailed quote before any work starts, so you can compare apples to apples. Avoid any roofer who gives a number over the phone without looking at your roof.
Once the new roof is on, you stop worrying about leaks every time it rains. Your home stays dry, your energy bills may dip, and you have a warranty that lets you sleep easy. No more guessing games about cost.
What people in Edgewood say
"I'm reviewing my two new roofs, on my house and my garage, installed by TruRoof. The company, and Damon Chuke, their representative, helped me work with the insurance company, and with understanding all the details of the whole process. They took out an obsolete chimney, were on time and professional, and the finished roofs and flashing are beautiful. Many compliments from neighbors. Highly recommended by me."
"We have a beautiful condo in a historic building from the 1840s. Late November had a bad leak in the dining room area. I called Britt at TruRoof who came out and inspected the entire roof of the building. He said to do the entire roof could be around $50,000. But then he started laughing and said you need to caulk the area around one of the chimneys. I thought he was nuts, but I did the caulking, which cost me about 25 bucks worth of outdoor caulk, and there are no more leaks. I cannot express my appreciation for his diligence and his honesty. That kind of a company and a person is rare these days. Highly, highly, highly recommend these guys."
"TruRoof did an outstanding job from start to finish. Communication leading up to the start date was great. Once on site and the project started, everything went as discussed, and the crew was very professional."

shingle vs metal roof for home
Asphalt shingles cost less upfront and last 20 to 30 years. Metal lasts 40 to 70 years and handles high winds better. If you plan to stay in the home long-term, metal often wins. If you're selling soon, shingles make more sense.
