What does a roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Residential roof replacement in Milford, OH: straight answers from TruRoof.
You live in Milford, maybe in a 1960s ranch in Sundale or a two-story near Old Milford. Your roof is losing shingles after the last storm, or you’ve spotted a water stain on the ceiling. You need a new roof, but you don’t want to call three companies just to get a ballpark price.
If your asphalt shingles are curling, cracking, or losing granules, your roof is near the end. In Milford, many homes built in the 1960s and 1970s still have original or second-layer roofs. Freeze-thaw cycles in Ohio winters push water under shingles. Summer humidity rots the decking. You might see water stains on the ceiling or feel a soft spot in the attic. That means the roof deck is damaged and needs replacement, not just a patch.
For a typical 1,500 sq ft home in Milford, a complete tear-off and asphalt shingle replacement costs $8,000 to $15,000. The price changes based on roof pitch, number of layers, and shingle type. Architectural shingles cost more but handle wind better. If your roof has two layers, removal takes longer and costs more. Metal roofing runs $15,000 to $25,000 for the same size. These are local, honest ranges. No hidden fees.
You need a written estimate with line items. That way you see exactly what you’re paying for: tear-off, disposal, decking repair, underlayment, shingles, flashing, and labor. TruRoof gives you a detailed quote before any work starts. You can compare it side-by-side with other bids. Avoid a contractor who gives a ballpark over the phone without climbing up to inspect. That number will change later. Call TruRoof today to schedule a free inspection and get your estimate.
Once the new roof is on, you won’t dread the next thunderstorm. Your home stays dry, your attic stays cool, and your heating bills might even go down. The warranty protects you for decades. No more patching leaks or worrying every time it rains. You can finally check “new roof” off your list and enjoy your Milford home.
What people in Milford 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.
