How much does a new roof cost?
Straight answers for homeowners in Florence, KY, from a local roof replacement team.
You live in a Florence neighborhood like Oakbrook or Plantation Pointe. Your roof is 20 years old. You start calling around and the numbers are all over the map. You just want one fair price for a new roof on your house, without the games.
An old roof shows itself in different ways. Curled shingles. Granules in the gutter. A leak in the upstairs bedroom after a heavy Boone County rain. Those are signs the roof deck might be getting wet. If you ignore it, a small leak turns into rotted plywood and mold inside your walls. The fix is a full tear-off and replacement, not a patch job.
A new roof in Florence is not one set price. The final number depends on the size of your home, how steep the roof is, and how many layers need to come off. Asphalt shingle jobs on a typical ranch or two-story here often run from $8,000 to $15,000. Metal costs more. A complicated roof with dormers or a steep pitch adds labor time. The only way to know your real number is to have someone measure your house and hand you a written estimate, line by line.
This week, pick up the phone and get a fixed-price quote in writing from TruRoof. We measure your roof, check the decking, and give you a breakdown of every dollar before any work starts. Do not sign with a contractor who gives you a verbal ballpark and asks for a big deposit. That is how people get surprised with extra charges halfway through the job.
Once the new roof is on, the stress goes away. You stop watching the weather. You stop checking the ceiling for stains. Your home is dry, your gutters run clean, and you have a warranty that actually means something.
What people in Florence 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.
