What does a roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Straight numbers for shingle roofing from a local Lawrenceburg, IN contractor.
You live in Lawrenceburg and your roof is shot. You see curling shingles or a leak in the attic. You just want a real price for your 1,500 sq ft house before you pick up the phone.
Shingles curl and crack from years of Ohio River Valley weather. Hot summers bake them. Winter ice and spring rain work into every gap. Once the protective granules wash off, water gets underneath. That is when you see stains on your ceiling.
For a 1,500 sq ft home, a full architectural shingle tear-off and replacement runs $8,500 to $14,000 around here. Simple single-story ranches near Arch Street Park land on the lower end. Steep two-story homes or roofs with multiple layers of old shingles push the cost higher. The final number depends on pitch, decking repairs, and shingle grade.
Get one written estimate that lists every line item. Do not trust a price given over the phone without someone seeing your roof. TruRoof will measure, inspect the decking, and hand you a fixed number, not a guess. Call before the next storm turns a small leak into rotted sheathing.
You get a tight, new roof that handles Lawrenceburg winds and rain. No more buckets in the hallway. No more worrying every time clouds roll over the Guilford Covered Bridge. Just a dry house and a warranty that sticks.
What people in Lawrenceburg 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."
Other things people in Lawrenceburg ask
asphalt shingles vs architectural shingles
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
Most architectural shingles run 20 to 30 years in Ohio weather. Ventilation and installation quality decide which end you land on.
how much does it cost to put a shingle roof on a 2000 sq ft house

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.
