How much does a new roof cost?
What a new roof costs in Norwood, OH, and how to get a fair, written estimate. Straight answers from TruRoof.
You've got a roof in Norwood that's starting to show its age. Maybe it's missing shingles after the last storm, or you've spotted a leak in the attic. You call a few roofers and the quotes are all over the place. You just want an honest answer: what does a new roof actually cost for a house your size?
Asphalt shingle roofs in Norwood typically last 20 to 30 years. If your roof is approaching that age, you might see curling, cracking, or missing shingles. Dark streaks could mean algae, and granules in the gutter are a sign the shingles are wearing out. Leaks around chimneys or vents are common. These are all clues that a full replacement is on the horizon, not just a patch job.
The cost of a new roof depends on a few big factors: the size of your home, the pitch of the roof, how many layers need to be torn off, and the material you choose. In the Cincinnati area, a typical asphalt shingle roof replacement can run from $8,000 to $15,000 for an average-sized home. Metal roofing costs more. Steep roofs or tricky access can add to the price. A roofer who measures your home can give you a real number, not a guess.
Your next step is to get a written estimate that breaks down the work item by item. Avoid any roofer who gives you a price over the phone without seeing your roof.

What people in Norwood 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
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.
