Roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Straight answers from TruRoof, residential roof replacement in Middletown, OH.
You've got a 1,500 sq ft house in Middletown and the roof's shot. You just want to know what it's going to cost to replace it. You don't want to call a bunch of companies and sit through sales pitches.
If you live in a 1,500 sq ft home in Middletown and the roof is over 20 years old, you are likely seeing curling shingles, bare spots, or water stains on the ceiling. You might also find shingle granules in the gutters or see daylight through the attic boards. Ohio winters with freeze-thaw cycles and heavy summer storms wear down asphalt shingles faster than in other regions. Once the protective granules are gone, the shingles crack and leak. That is when a full replacement makes more sense than patching.
For a 1,500 sq ft house in this area, a complete tear-off and asphalt shingle replacement typically costs between $8,000 and $15,000. The final price depends on the roof pitch, the number of layers to remove, and the shingle quality. A steep roof or a second layer of old shingles adds labor and disposal fees. Metal roofs run higher, often $15,000 to $25,000. A written estimate shows you exactly what you pay for materials, labor, and cleanup.

What people in Middletown 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.
