What does a roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Honest answers from TruRoof, residential roof replacement in Erlanger, KY.
You're in Erlanger, staring at a roof that's seen better days. You need a number, not a sales pitch. You want to know what a tear-off and replacement on a 1,500 sq ft house really costs before you pick up the phone.
If your roof is leaking, missing shingles, or over 20 years old, you're probably looking at a full tear-off. That means removing every layer down to the wood decking and starting fresh. It's a big job, but it's the only way to fix deep problems that patch jobs won't solve.
For a 1,500 sq ft house in Erlanger, an asphalt shingle roof replacement typically runs between $8,000 and $15,000. The final price depends on roof pitch, how many layers get torn off, and the shingle grade you choose. Metal roofs cost more, often $15,000 to $25,000. No two houses are exactly alike, so a fair quote needs a quick look at your roof.
Don't call three companies just to get ballpark numbers. Instead, get one detailed written estimate. TruRoof provides free, line-by-line quotes for roof replacements in Erlanger.

What people in Erlanger 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.
