What does roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Straight numbers from a Fairfield, OH shingle roofing contractor.
You have a 1,500 sq ft home in Fairfield and you need a new roof. You don't want to call three companies just to get a ballpark. You want a real number before you start.
You're seeing curled shingles, missing granules, or maybe a leak in the attic. In Fairfield's climate, with freeze-thaw cycles and summer storms, asphalt shingles wear out faster than you'd think. This isn't about a quick patch. It's about a full tear-off and replacement to stop water damage.
For a 1,500 sq ft house in Fairfield, a complete shingle roof replacement usually runs between $8,000 and $15,000. The price depends on roof pitch, how many layers need tearing off, and the shingle grade you choose. Architectural shingles cost more but last longer. If decking is rotted, that adds cost.
Before you call anyone, get a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and disposal. This lets you compare apples to apples. TruRoof provides line-item quotes so you see exactly where your money goes. Call us for a free inspection — no pressure, just numbers.

What people in Fairfield 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
Asphalt shingles cost less upfront and are easy to repair. Metal roofs last much longer, reflect heat, and stand up to high winds. Think about how long you plan to stay in the home. A metal roof pays off over time, but shingles are still the most common choice in Cincinnati neighborhoods.
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.
