What does a roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Honest answers on residential roof replacement costs from a Mason, OH contractor.
You've noticed shingles curling or missing after a Mason winter. You know a 1,500 sq ft roof replacement is in your future, but you don't want to call three companies just to get a ballpark cost. You want a real number, not a sales pitch.
If your roof is over 20 years old, you might see cracked shingles, bald spots where granules are gone, or leaks around skylights. Asphalt shingles wear out over time, especially with Mason's freeze-thaw cycles and summer storms. When the protective layer wears away, water can get in. That's when you need a full tear-off, not just a repair.
For a 1,500 sq ft home in Mason, a standard asphalt shingle tear-off and replacement usually runs between $8,000 and $15,000. The final price depends on roof pitch, number of layers to remove, and the shingle grade you choose. Metal roofing costs more, often $15,000 to $25,000. A typical job takes 2 to 5 days.

What people in Mason 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."

shingle vs metal roof for home
