Roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Straight numbers for shingle roofing in Kenwood, OH, so you can plan before you call.
You need a new roof. You don't want to call three companies just to get a ballpark. You want a real number before you start. This page gives you that number for a 1,500 sq ft house in Kenwood.
A 1,500 sq ft house in Kenwood usually has a roof deck close to that size. If your shingles are curling, losing grit, or leaking after the storms that roll through off I-71, the roof has hit the end of its life. Most homes here were built to shed rain and snow, but years of freeze-thaw cycles and summer heat break down asphalt shingles faster than people expect.
For a tear-off and new architectural asphalt shingle roof on a 1,500 sq ft house, expect to pay roughly $8,000 to $15,000. The price moves based on roof pitch, how many old layers come off, and the shingle grade you pick. A simple one-story roof with a low pitch sits at the bottom of that range. A steep roof with two old layers and a designer shingle sits at the top.
This week, get one written estimate with line items. Ask for the cost of tear-off, underlayment, shingles, flashing, and cleanup listed separately. That way you can compare prices without guessing. TruRoof can give you that written estimate and walk you through the line items before you sign anything. Do not wait through another wet spring.
Once the roof is done, you stop checking the ceiling after every rain. The shingles shed water the way they should. The attic stays dry. You have a clean, straight roof that looks right from the street, and a warranty that actually holds because the install followed the manufacturer's spec.
What people in Kenwood 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."

Architectural shingles cost more up front and last longer with better wind ratings. We show both on your house.
how many years does a shingle roof last

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.
