How much does a new roof cost? Quotes all over the place.
You want a straight answer. Here is what residential roof replacement costs in Union, KY.
Your roof is old and you know it. You start calling roofers in Union, KY, and the quotes land all over the place: $9,000 from one, $18,000 from another. In Union's mix of older subdivisions and newer builds, you just want one clear, fair answer for a house your size before you commit.
You are not comparing the same job. One quote may include one layer of tear-off. Another may include two. The pitch of your roof changes labor. A steep roof near Big Bone Lick State Park costs more to walk safely than a low ranch near US-42. Material choice moves the number too. Asphalt shingles and metal are not the same price. If your home was built in one of Union's older subdivisions, the roof deck may need extra repair once it is opened up.
In the Cincinnati area, which includes Union, a typical asphalt shingle roof often runs $8,000 to $15,000. A small ranch with an easy slope lands on the lower end. A larger two-story with a steep pitch lands higher. Metal costs more. The number of layers being torn off moves the price. So do damaged decking, flashing, and old gutters tied into the roofline. Time on site can be one to three days once materials are ordered. The real number comes from measuring your roof, not guessing from a satellite image.
Get a written estimate that breaks the work down item by item. Do not accept a number over the phone without someone measuring your roof. Do not sign a contract with a blank allowance for decking or flashing. This week, have TruRoof measure your Union home and give you a line-by-line price for tear-off, materials, and labor. Ask what is included. Ask what is not. That is how you spot the fair quote before you spend a dollar.
You will know what your roof costs before any work starts. No guessing. No surprise line items. You get a clear written scope for your Union home, then decide when to move forward. Your old roof comes off, the new one goes on, and the price on paper matches the work.
What people in Union 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
