Roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house? Here’s the real number.
Straight pricing for residential roof replacement in Lebanon, OH, from TruRoof.
You own a 1,500 sq ft home in Lebanon and your roof is failing. You see curled shingles or a leak in the attic. You need a real cost before you call anyone. No runaround, no three-estimate shuffle.
A 1,500 sq ft roof is common in Lebanon, especially in neighborhoods near downtown or off East Main Street. Years of Ohio weather freeze and thaw cycles, heavy spring rains, and summer sun wear down asphalt shingles. Once shingles curl, crack, or lose granules, water gets in. That leads to deck rot, mold, and bigger bills. You see it on roofs built in the 80s and 90s all over Warren County.
For a full tear-off and replacement on a 1,500 sq ft home, expect to pay $8,000 to $15,000 for asphalt shingles. The range depends on roof pitch, how many layers need torn off, and shingle grade. Architectural shingles cost more than three-tab but last longer. Metal roofs run higher, often $15,000 to $25,000. Steep roofs or tricky access like near the Golden Lamb area add labor. Every job gets a written, line-item estimate so you see exactly where the money goes.
This week, get one detailed quote from a local contractor who serves Lebanon. Avoid any roofer who refuses to give a written breakdown. TruRoof will walk your roof, measure, and hand you an estimate with labor, materials, and disposal broken out. That way you compare real numbers, not guesses. Call before a small leak turns into rotted decking.
Once the job is done, your home is dry and quiet. No more buckets in the hallway. No more worrying every time it storms. Just a solid roof over your head, built to handle Ohio weather for decades.
What people in Lebanon 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."

how much does a new roof cost
A new roof cost depends on size, pitch, material, and how many layers need to be torn off. Get a written estimate that breaks down the work item by item. In Cincinnati, a typical asphalt shingle roof can range from $8,000 to $15,000, but the only way to know is to have a roofer measure your home.
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.
