Roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Straight answers from TruRoof, residential roof replacement in Fort Thomas, KY.
Your Fort Thomas home sits on a hill under big trees. Shingles are curling. You need a new roof, but you want a real price for a 1,500 sq ft house before you start calling anyone.
If your asphalt shingles are curling, missing, or losing granules, your roof is failing. Fort Thomas gets heavy spring rains and summer storms. Water gets under old shingles and rots the deck underneath. You might see leaks in the attic or stains on ceilings. That's when you need a full tear-off, not a patch.
For a 1,500 sq ft house, a typical asphalt shingle replacement in Fort Thomas runs $8,000 to $15,000. The price depends on roof pitch, number of layers, and shingle grade. A steep roof or extra tear-off layers add cost. Metal roofs cost more, starting around $15,000. Every home is different, so a written estimate is the only way to get a firm number.
Start with a free, no-pressure estimate from TruRoof. We'll measure your roof, check the deck, and give you a line-by-line price. No surprises, no hidden fees. If you call this week, you can get on the schedule before the next big storm.
Once your new roof is on, you won't worry about leaks or stains. You'll have a watertight home that stands up to Kentucky weather. The job is done, and you can forget about it for decades.
What people in Fort Thomas say
"Great experience, professional, efficient and I love my new roof and gutters. I would definitely recommend TruRoof."
"Best."
"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."

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.
