Straight answers on roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house. TruRoof, Independence, KY.
You're in Independence, watching your roof get worse. You need a real cost for a 1,500 sq ft shingle roof replacement, not three different guesses. Maybe you've seen prices online that don't add up. In Kenton County, our weather beats up roofs, and you want a fair price fast.
Your roof is telling you it's done. Shingle edges curl like dried leaves. Dark patches spread where granules washed away. After a storm, you hear dripping in the attic. In Independence, our winters freeze water under shingles, and summers bake them brittle. If you live near Doe Run Lake or Memorial Park, wind-driven rain tests your roof even harder. A 1,500 sq ft house with 15-year-old shingles often can't wait another season.
For a 1,500 sq ft home, a tear-off and replacement with asphalt shingles typically costs $8,000 to $15,000. A simple single-story roof with easy access and basic 3-tab shingles lands near the low end. Architectural shingles, which look better and last 30+ years, push the price higher. Steep pitches, multiple layers of old shingles, or rotted decking add $1,000 to $3,000 or more. This range matches what we see across Kenton County, where roof lines are similar from Taylor Mill Road to Richardson Road.

What people in Independence 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.
