Roof quotes all over? Here's what a new roof really costs.
Straight answers from TruRoof, residential roof replacement in Hamilton, OH.
You live in Hamilton and your roof is showing its age. You've started calling roofers, but the quotes range from $5,000 to $25,000. You just want to know what a fair price is for a home like yours.
Roof replacement costs vary because every home is different. The size of your roof, how steep it is, and how many layers of old shingles need to come off all affect the price. In Hamilton, many homes date back to the mid-20th century. Older roof decks can hide extra layers or damage from decades of Ohio freeze-thaw cycles. That means more labor and disposal fees.
For a typical asphalt shingle roof in this area, you might pay between $8,000 and $15,000. A small ranch home on a flat lot will be on the lower end. A two-story home with a steep pitch, like some of the older houses near Monument Park or Rossville, will cost more. Metal roofs run higher, starting around $15,000, but they last 50 years or more. The final price depends on square footage, the number of valleys and penetrations, and whether the decking needs repairs.
The only way to get a real number is to have a roofer measure your home. Call TruRoof for a written estimate that breaks down every line item: tear-off, underlayment, shingles, flashing, and cleanup. Avoid any contractor who gives a price over the phone without seeing your roof. A good estimate takes about 30 minutes on site and includes a detailed scope of work. That way, you can compare quotes apple to apple.
Once your new roof is on, you won't have to think about leaks or patch jobs for decades. You'll know you paid a fair price and the work was done right, with no hidden fees. Your home will be protected from Ohio weather, and you can put that worry behind you. That peace of mind is what a new roof should bring.
What people in Hamilton 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.
