What does a roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Straight answers on residential roof replacement costs in Harrison, OH — from TruRoof.
You have a 1,500-square-foot house in Harrison that needs a new roof, and you just want a real number before you start calling contractors. You don't want to sit through three sales pitches just to find out if it's in your budget.
If your shingles are curling, missing, or leaking, your roof has reached the end of its life. Harrison sees freeze-thaw cycles every winter, which can lift shingles and let water sneak under the decking. Older homes near The District often have multiple layers of old roofing hidden underneath, which adds weight and traps moisture.
For a typical 1,500 sq ft ranch or two-story home here, a full tear-off and asphalt shingle replacement runs $8,000 to $15,000. The price depends on roof pitch, how many layers need removed, and the grade of shingle you choose. A steep roof or a home with skylights will land at the higher end. Metal roofing starts around $18,000 and goes up from there.

What people in Harrison 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.
