What does a roof replacement cost on a 1,500 sq ft house?
Straight answers from TruRoof, residential roof replacement in Sharonville, OH.
You're in Sharonville, looking at curling shingles or a ceiling stain. You don't want to sit through three sales pitches just to get a ballpark number. You need real cost info before you decide to call anyone.
Roofs in Hamilton County take a beating. Freeze-thaw cycles, summer storms, and aging asphalt shingles lead to cracks, leaks, and granule loss. If your home was built 15 to 20 years ago, the original roof is likely at the end of its life. You might see daylight in the attic or water damage on the ceiling. That means the underlayment is failing and water is getting through.
For a 1,500 square foot house, a full tear-off and asphalt shingle replacement typically runs between $8,000 and $15,000. The price depends on roof pitch, how many layers need removed, and the shingle grade you choose. Architectural shingles cost more than three-tab but last longer. Metal roofs start higher, often $15,000 to $25,000. These are ballpark figures for Sharonville. A written estimate breaks down materials, labor, and disposal so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Get at least one written estimate before you commit. A good contractor lists every line item. Avoid anyone who pressures you to sign on the spot or gives a price over the phone without seeing the roof. TruRoof provides a no-obligation written quote after inspecting your home. Call us to schedule a walk-through this week.
Once the new roof is on, you stop worrying every time it storms. Your home stays dry, your energy bills may even dip, and you don't have to think about it for decades. That leaky ceiling becomes a memory.
What people in Sharonville 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.
