What does a roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Honest answers from TruRoof, residential roof replacement in Mount Washington, OH.
Your Mount Washington roof is leaking or losing shingles. You need a replacement for your 1,500-square-foot home, but you don’t want to call three companies just to get a ballpark. You want a real number, now.
If your asphalt shingle roof is over 20 years old, you’re likely seeing curling, missing granules, or leaks after heavy rain. Mount Washington’s freeze-thaw cycles and summer storms speed up wear. A full tear-off is the only way to stop water from damaging your home’s structure. Patching won’t buy you much time.
For a typical 1,500-square-foot Mount Washington home, a full asphalt shingle tear-off and replacement runs roughly $8,000 to $15,000. The final price depends on roof pitch, how many layers need to come off, shingle grade, and any plywood replacement. Metal roofing starts higher, often $15,000 to $25,000. You’ll get a written, line-item estimate so you can compare honestly.
Get one detailed, written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and disposal. Don’t guess or rely on a phone quote.

Once your new roof is on, you won’t worry about every rainstorm. Your home stays dry, your attic insulation works better, and your curb appeal jumps. You’ll have a roof that lasts 25 to 30 years, backed by a workmanship warranty you can count on.
What people in Mount Washington 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
