What does roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Honest answers from TruRoof, residential roof replacement in Oakley, OH.
You live in Oakley, maybe near the Cincinnati Observatory or off Madison Road. Your roof is old, and you need a number before you call anyone. You don't want to waste time with three quotes just to get a rough idea. A 1,500 sq ft home is common in this neighborhood, and you want to know what it'll really cost to replace the roof.
You notice curling shingles, granules in the gutter, or a leak after a heavy rain. Oakley weather is tough on roofs. Hot summers bake the shingles. Winter ice and wind tear at the edges. A roof on a 1,500 sq ft home in this area usually lasts 20 to 25 years. If yours is older, it may be time for a full tear-off and replacement.
For an asphalt shingle roof on a 1,500 sq ft house, the cost in Oakley typically runs from $8,000 to $15,000. The final price depends on the roof pitch, number of layers to remove, and the shingle grade you choose. A steep roof or a tricky layout adds labor. Metal roofing costs more, often $15,000 to $25,000. A written estimate with line items lets you see exactly what you are paying for.
Start by getting a detailed, written estimate. TruRoof will inspect your roof and give you a breakdown of costs, no guessing.

What people in Oakley 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
