Roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Straight answers from TruRoof, residential roof replacement in Liberty Township, OH.
You need a new roof on your Liberty Township home. Many homes in Stonehenge and Trails of Four Bridges were built 20 to 25 years ago, and Ohio weather has taken its toll. You want a real price for a 1,500 sq ft house before you start calling around.
You see curling shingles, dark streaks, or granules washing into the gutter. The dark streaks are algae, common in Liberty Township's humid summers, but they also mean your shingles are getting old. Freeze-thaw winters and summer storms wear down asphalt roofs here. Most last 20 to 25 years. If your home was built around 2000, it's time. Leaks often start small, around chimneys or skylights, and get worse fast.
For a 1,500 sq ft single-story home, a complete tear-off and asphalt shingle replacement usually costs between $8,000 and $15,000. That covers tearing off the old roof, installing new synthetic underlayment and architectural shingles, replacing pipe boots and vents, and hauling away all debris. The price rises if your roof is steep, has two layers to strip, or needs decking repair. Metal roofs run higher, often $15,000 to $25,000. Most residential jobs in Liberty Township take one to two days.
Don't call three companies and try to piece together quotes that use different materials and warranties. Instead, get one written estimate with clear line items for everything: underlayment, shingles, flashing, disposal. That lets you see exactly what you're paying for. Call TruRoof for a free, no-obligation estimate. We'll inspect your roof, take measurements, and hand you a detailed price before you decide anything.
After the crew leaves, you'll have a solid roof overhead with a manufacturer's warranty. No more buckets in the attic. No more worrying when the wind picks up. Your home stays dry, your energy bills stay steady, and your house looks great from the street. You won't have to think about roofing again for 20-plus years.
What people in Liberty Township 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.
