What does a roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Straight answers on residential roof replacement cost in Hyde Park, OH, from TruRoof.
You live in a Hyde Park home built in the 1920s or 1940s. The roof is aging, and a leak just showed up in the upstairs bedroom. You need a new roof, but before you call three companies, you want a real cost for your 1,500 sq ft house.
If your shingles are curling, missing, or you see daylight in the attic, your roof is failing. In Hyde Park, many homes have steep pitches and older decking from the 1920s–1940s, which adds to the job. Water stains on ceilings mean the underlayment is compromised. A full tear-off is the only permanent fix.
For a 1,500 sq ft asphalt shingle roof in Cincinnati, a complete tear-off and replacement typically runs $8,000 to $15,000. The spread depends on pitch, number of layers, and shingle grade. A steep roof or multiple layers of old shingles push the price higher. Metal roofing adds $5,000 to $10,000. You’ll get a written, line-by-line estimate so you can compare exactly what’s included.
This week, call TruRoof for a free, no-pressure inspection. We’ll measure your roof, check the decking, and give you a clear number on paper. Don’t wait for the next storm—leaks damage insulation and framing. Avoid contractors who give quotes over the phone without seeing the roof. A real estimate requires a site visit.
Once the job is done, you’ll have a clean, new roof that sheds water and snow like it should. No more buckets in the hallway. No more worrying every time it rains. Your Hyde Park home is protected for 25 to 30 years, and you can get back to enjoying the neighborhood, not stressing about the next leak.
What people in Hyde Park 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.
