What does a roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Honest answers from TruRoof, shingle roofing in Westwood, OH.
You live in Westwood, in an older home with tree-lined streets, and you need a roof replacement. You don't want to call three companies just to get a ballpark. You want a real number before you commit.
You see curling shingles, bald spots where granules are gone, or water stains on your ceiling. On a 1,500 square foot ranch or two-story in Westwood, a roof that age often fails after 15 to 20 years. Cincinnati winters with freeze-thaw cycles and summer humidity wear down asphalt shingles fast. If your roof is older than that, it is time to plan for replacement, not just patches.
For a 1,500 sq ft home in Westwood, a full shingle tear-off and replacement usually costs between $8,000 and $15,000. The final number depends on roof pitch, how many layers need tearing off, and the shingle grade you choose. A steep roof or extra layers can push the price higher. Metal roofing costs more, but asphalt shingles are most common here.

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."
