What does a roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Straight numbers for residential roof replacement in Hebron, KY, not a phone runaround.
Your roof on a 1,500 sq ft home near I-275 has hit the point where patchwork is not enough. Years of Ohio Valley rain, wind, and freeze-thaw cycles leave shingles curled or missing. You want one clear price for a full tear-off in Hebron, and that number should match your house, not a generic chart.
Water stains on the ceiling, missing shingles, or granules piling up in your gutters mean the roof is failing, not just dirty. In Hebron, wet springs and freeze-thaw winters make asphalt shingles curl, crack, and pull loose. A 1,500 sq ft single-story or split-level home is often simple to reroof, but dormers, steep pitches, skylights, and extra layers add time and materials. That line separates a small repair from a full replacement.
For a 1,500 sq ft house, a full asphalt shingle tear-off and replacement typically runs $8,000 to $15,000. The range comes from roof pitch, how many layers have to come off, shingle grade, and whether the plywood decking needs repair. Metal roofing usually runs higher, often two to three times the shingle price. Most Hebron tear-offs take one to two days once materials arrive. A written estimate with line items makes the range make sense.
Start by getting one written estimate with line items, not a quick phone guess. Ask for the price to remove old shingles, haul away debris, replace any bad decking, and install the new roof. If a contractor will not put numbers in writing, do not sign anything. TruRoof can measure your Hebron home and give you a clear, line-by-line number before you commit. Do it this week, before the next storm exposes more damage. That way you compare the same scope, not just the bottom line.
Once the old roof is torn off and the new shingles are on, you stop watching the forecast. The attic stays dry, the gutters run clean, and your 1,500 sq ft home is sealed tight. You know what you paid and why. No surprise extras, no second bill, no more ladder checks after every storm.
What people in Hebron 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."

Compare a second itemized quote and check what is driving the price: roof size, pitch, layers to remove, decking repairs, material grade.
how much does a new roof cost
A new roof cost depends on size, pitch, material, and how many layers need to be torn off. Get a written estimate that breaks down the work item by item. In Cincinnati, a typical asphalt shingle roof can range from $8,000 to $15,000, but the only way to know is to have a roofer measure your home.
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.
