What's roof replacement actually going to cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Straight numbers for shingle roofing from a local contractor in Hyde Park, OH.
You live in Hyde Park, probably in a classic brick home with a steep roof pitch. You see curling shingles or a leak. You don't have time for three sales pitches. You just need a real price range before your weekend disappears.
Your roof takes a beating from Ohio weather. Freeze-thaw cycles all winter. Summer humidity and thunderstorms. That wears out asphalt shingles faster than you think. You might see granule loss in the gutters. Or curling edges. Or a water spot on the bedroom ceiling after a heavy rain.
For a 1,500 sq ft house in Hyde Park, a full tear-off and shingle replacement runs $8,000 to $15,000 on average. The spread depends on roof pitch, number of existing layers, and shingle grade. A steep roof on a Dutch Colonial costs more in labor. A single-story ranch with a gentle slope lands on the lower end. Architectural shingles add about 15 percent over three-tab. Metal or slate are north of $25,000. Those are real numbers, not guesses.
Get a written estimate with line items. Material, labor, disposal, flashing, underlayment. That lets you compare bids without hidden gaps. TruRoof gives that quote in plain English, same day. Call before the next storm turns a small leak into drywall repair.
Once it's done, you stop checking the ceiling every time it rains. The new shingles sit tight and uniform. The warranty holds because the install followed the manufacturer's specs. You move on to the next project, not the same one.
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
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.
