Roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Honest answers from TruRoof, shingle roofing in Ludlow, KY.
You stare at your roof and worry about the next big storm. Your 1,500 sq ft home in Ludlow needs a new roof, but you want a real price range before you start making calls. You don't want to waste time with sales meetings just to get a ballpark figure.
Shingle roofs in Ludlow take a beating from freeze-thaw cycles and summer storms. You might notice shingles cracking, curling, or losing their sand-like granules. Water stains on your ceiling are a clear sign it's time to act. A 1,500 sq ft house typically has a roof that's 20-25 years old. If yours is in that range, replacement is likely cheaper than constant repairs.
For a 1,500 sq ft home in Ludlow, a full shingle roof replacement usually costs between $8,000 and $15,000. That includes tearing off old shingles, installing new underlayment, and adding architectural shingles. The price varies with roof pitch: a low-slope roof near the historic downtown will be less than a steep roof on a hill. The number of layers being removed also affects the total. Many Ludlow homes built in the 1950s and 60s have two or three layers, so if yours does, the price will be on the higher side. Metal roofing costs more, but shingle is the most common choice in Kenton County.

What people in Ludlow 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."
