Roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house
Straight answers from TruRoof, shingle roofing in Milford, OH.
You’ve got a 1,500 sq ft house in Milford, maybe off I-275 or near Stonelick Covered Bridge, and your roof is starting to fail. You need a replacement, but you don’t want to call three companies just to get a ballpark. You want a real number before you start.
You’re seeing curling shingles, granules in the gutter, or maybe a leak in the upstairs bedroom. A 1,500 sq ft house in Milford, built anywhere from the 1960s to the 1990s, often has a roof at the end of its life. Asphalt shingles wear out from Ohio’s hot summers, heavy rain, and freeze-thaw cycles. That’s normal. You just need a new roof.
For a tear-off and replacement on a 1,500 sq ft home, expect to pay between $8,000 and $15,000. That’s for architectural asphalt shingles, which most Milford homes use. The price shifts based on roof pitch, number of layers to tear off, and shingle grade. A steep roof or two layers of old shingles pushes it higher. A simple one-story ranch with a gentle pitch sits at the lower end. Metal roofs run higher, but asphalt is the smart choice for this area. Get a written estimate with line items so you can compare apples to apples. That way, you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Next step: call TruRoof for a free inspection. We’ll measure your roof, check the decking, and give you a fixed price in writing. No bait-and-switch. Do not wait until the next storm. A small leak today turns into a big repair if water gets into the attic. We’re in Milford, so we know the common roof problems on homes along US Route 50 and in the Sundale neighborhood. We can even show you a few recent jobs near Carriage Way Park.
Once the new shingles are on, your home stays dry. You get a warranty that holds because it’s installed to manufacturer spec. No more buckets in the hallway. You can get back to enjoying downtown Milford, maybe a coffee on Main Street, without worrying about the roof. The roof just works, and your house is protected for the next 20 to 30 years.
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."
Other things people in Milford ask

Architectural shingles cost more up front and last longer with better wind ratings. We show both on your house.
how many years does a shingle roof last
Most architectural shingles run 20 to 30 years in Ohio weather. Ventilation and installation quality decide which end you land on.
how much does it cost to put a shingle roof on a 2000 sq ft house
A written estimate priced by roof squares, not house square footage, is the only number that means anything.
shingle vs metal roof
Asphalt shingles cost less upfront and are easy to repair. Metal roofs last much longer, reflect heat, and stand up to high winds. Think about how long you plan to stay in the home. A metal roof pays off over time, but shingles are still the most common choice in Cincinnati neighborhoods.
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.
