What does a new roof cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Straight answers for Finneytown homeowners from TruRoof, your local shingle roofing pros.
You own a 1,500 sq ft home in Finneytown and your roof is showing its age. You just need a real price range before you pick up the phone. No guessing, no pressure.
That sagging ridge or missing shingle you see might be normal wear from Ohio’s freeze-thaw cycles, summer storms, and decades of sun. Asphalt shingles over a typical plywood deck in Finneytown garages and ranches usually last 20 to 25 years. Once they crack, curl, or lose granules, water gets in and a patch won’t fix the root problem.
For a 1,500 sq ft house, a complete tear-off and new architectural shingle roof generally falls between $8,000 and $15,000. The total depends on roof pitch, how many old layers you’re peeling off, whether decking needs repair, and shingle grade. A simple single-story with a low slope sits near the low end. Add a steep pitch, flashing around a chimney, or premium shingles, and the price climbs. Every job is different, but that’s the range for a standard Finneytown home.
Next step: get a written estimate with line items so you can compare labor, materials, and disposal. Ask about manufacturer warranties—proper install matters for the warranty to stick. Call TruRoof for a no-obligation walkthrough of your specific house. We’ll measure, check the attic, and give you a firm number on paper, not over the phone.
Once the old roof is gone and the new shingles are nailed down, your home is watertight and quiet again. You won’t dread the next rainstorm. The gutters channel water away like they should, and the attic stays dry for years.
What people in Finneytown 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."
Other things people in Finneytown ask
asphalt shingles vs architectural shingles
Architectural shingles cost more up front and last longer with better wind ratings. We show both on your house.
how many years does a shingle roof last
Most architectural shingles run 20 to 30 years in Ohio weather. Ventilation and installation quality decide which end you land on.
how much does it cost to put a shingle roof on a 2000 sq ft house
A written estimate priced by roof squares, not house square footage, is the only number that means anything.
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.
