Roof replacement cost for a 1,500 sq ft house?
Honest answers from TruRoof, residential roof replacement in Wyoming, OH.
You've spotted the signs: curling shingles, a leak, or granules in the gutter. You know a roof replacement is coming, but you need a clear price before you start calling. In Wyoming, Ohio, a 1,500 sq ft home is a typical size, and you want a number that makes sense for your neighborhood.
You notice curling shingles, bare spots, or granules collecting in gutters. Maybe a ceiling stain after heavy rain. These are signals your asphalt shingle roof is failing. In Wyoming, Ohio, freeze-thaw cycles and summer storms age roofs faster. A 1,500 sq ft home, common in neighborhoods near Chisholm Park, often needs a full tear-off after 20–25 years.
For a 1,500 sq ft house, a complete tear-off and asphalt shingle replacement typically costs between $8,000 and $15,000. The price varies with roof pitch—steep roofs require more labor and safety gear. The number of layers being removed also matters. Two layers of old shingles cost more to dispose of. Architectural shingles last longer but add to the total. Metal roofs start around $15,000 and can go higher. A 1,500 sq ft ranch or split-level, common in Wyoming’s city center and Sharonville neighborhoods, usually has a simple roof line. That helps keep labor costs lower. But if your home has multiple peaks or dormers, expect the price to rise. A written estimate with line items lets you see exactly where the money goes.
Get a written estimate this week. That way you can compare the scope of work, materials, and warranty from different contractors. TruRoof provides a clear, itemized quote so you know what you’re paying for—no surprises. If you need financing, we can discuss options during the estimate. Avoid contractors who give a price over the phone without seeing your roof. That usually leads to change orders later.

What people in Wyoming 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
