What does a roof replacement cost on a 1,500 sq ft house?
Straight numbers for shingle roofing in Madeira, OH. No hype, just what to expect.
If you live in Madeira, you know the hills and weather can be tough on a roof. You need a real price before you start calling around. A 1,500 sq ft home is common here, and you want the number without the runaround.
Shingles wear out. You see curling edges, missing granules in the gutter, or a leak in the upstairs ceiling. Madeira homes built in the 60s and 70s often have roof decks that need attention too. This is normal aging, not a disaster. Asphalt shingles last about 20 to 30 years. When they go, water gets in and damage spreads fast.
The cost to tear off and replace a roof on a 1,500 sq ft house here usually lands between $8,000 and $15,000. The final number depends on your roof pitch, how many layers need removal, and the shingle grade you pick. Architectural shingles cost more than three-tab, but they last longer and handle wind better. If the decking is rotted, that adds to the bill. Steep roofs on Miami Avenue or near Camargo Road take more labor and safety gear, so the price goes up.
Get a written estimate with line items. That way you can compare bids fairly. Ask if the quote covers dump fees, permits, and flashing replacement. TruRoof can walk you through a detailed estimate for your specific home. Call before a small leak turns into a big repair. Do not wait for the next heavy rain.
When the job is done, you stop worrying every time it storms. Your home stays dry. The new shingles look clean and add curb appeal. The warranty is in your hand. You can move on and enjoy your home again.
What people in Madeira 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."
