Roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house in Mason
Honest answers from TruRoof, a shingle roofing contractor in Mason, OH.
Your roof is 20 years old and the shingles are curling. You know it's time to replace it. But before you start calling around Mason, you want a real number for a 1,500 square foot house. Not a sales pitch, just the facts.
If your shingles are curling, cracked, or missing granules, your roof is telling you it's done. In Mason, where winters bring freeze-thaw cycles and summers come with heavy storms, asphalt shingles take a beating. Many homes here, from the neighborhoods near Pine Hill Lakes Park to those off Mason-Montgomery Road, were built in the 80s and 90s. If your roof is original, it's past time.
For a 1,500 sq ft house in Mason, a full tear-off and new architectural asphalt shingle roof typically costs between $8,000 and $15,000. While metal roofs run higher, shingles are the most common choice here. The final price depends on your roof's pitch, how many layers need tearing off, and whether any decking is rotted. Basic 3-tab shingles sit at the lower end; architectural shingles cost more but last longer and handle Mason's weather better.
Your next step is to get a written, line-item estimate. Avoid contractors who give you a number over the phone without seeing your roof. TruRoof provides free, in-person inspections and detailed quotes for Mason homeowners. We'll measure your roof, check the attic ventilation, and explain exactly what you're paying for. You'll know the cost of shingles, labor, disposal, and any extras. No pressure, just the facts you need to make a smart decision.
After your new roof is installed, you'll stop checking the ceiling every time it rains. Your home stays dry, your energy bills may drop with proper ventilation, and you get a manufacturer warranty that's actually backed by a certified install. In Mason, a solid roof means peace of mind through every season, from summer storms to winter snow.
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."
