Roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house
Real numbers for Westwood, OH homeowners. No runaround, just a clear residential roof replacement estimate from TruRoof.
You live in Westwood, OH. Your roof is showing its age. You need a real cost before you call anyone. No three-company shuffle. Just a number that makes sense.
You see curling shingles, bare spots, or granules in the gutter. That is normal wear after 15 to 20 Cincinnati winters. Freeze-thaw cycles and summer humidity chew through roofing. Once the protective layer breaks down, water gets in. A full tear-off is the fix.
For a 1,500 sq ft house, a basic asphalt shingle replacement runs $8,000 to $12,000. Better shingles or a steep pitch push it toward $15,000. Metal roofs run $15,000 to $25,000. Tear-off, dump fees, and underlayment are included in those ranges. The Westwood Town Hall area has older homes. Extra layers of old shingles add labor and cost.
Get one written estimate from TruRoof. It lists every line item: shingle grade, tear-off, flashing, and labor. You can compare it side by side with any other quote. Call this week before a spring storm turns a small leak into ceiling damage.
You get a tight, dry roof that handles Ohio weather. No more tarps or buckets. Just a solid home on your tree-lined street.
What people in Westwood 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.
