Roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house
Straight numbers from a shingle roofing crew that works in Hamilton, OH.
You live in Hamilton, maybe in a 1950s Rossville cape cod or a Riverview colonial. The roof is shot. You just need a real price range before you call anyone. You do not want three sales pitches.
Most 1,500 sq ft roofs in Hamilton use asphalt shingles. Over time, our freeze-thaw cycles and summer storms break down the granules. You see curling edges, missing tabs, or grit in the gutter. That means the roof is past a repair. A tear-off is the only fix that lasts.
For a basic architectural shingle on a simple roof, plan on $8,000 to $12,000. If your roof is steep, has two layers to tear off, or needs new decking, it pushes toward $15,000. Designer shingles add more. This is turnkey: tear-off, dumpster, install, and cleanup. No hidden permit fees.
Get one written quote with line items. Ask for the shingle brand and model number. That lets you compare apples to apples. TruRoof can walk your roof with you, point out what needs attention, and hand you a firm number. No games.
Once the new roof is on, your attic stays dry. Gutters run clean. You stop worrying every time the wind picks up. The house looks sharp from the street, and you have a warranty that actually means something.
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."
Other things people in Hamilton 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.
