Anytown roof replacement cost by home size and material
A new roof typically runs from about $9,000 for a small luxury asphalt shingle roof up to $40,000 or more for a large standing-seam metal roof. EXAMPLE ROOFING CO prices luxury asphalt shingles from about $450 per square (100 sq ft) and 26-gauge standing-seam metal from about $1,250 per square. Final cost depends on roof size, pitch, layers to tear off, and decking condition. Every estimate is a firm written price, never a price-bait teaser.
| Home size | Asphalt shingle | Standing-seam metal |
|---|---|---|
| Small home (under 1,500 sq ft / ~15 squares) | $6,750 – $10,500 | $18,750 – $26,000 |
| Average home (1,500–2,500 sq ft / ~20 squares) | $9,000 – $14,000 | $25,000 – $35,000 |
| Large home (2,500–3,500 sq ft / ~30 squares) | $13,500 – $21,000 | $37,500 – $52,000 |
| Per square (100 sq ft) starting price | from $450 / square | from $1,250 / square |
Ranges are honest planning estimates, not quotes. Your EXAMPLE ROOFING CO written estimate is firm and based on your actual roof.
What drives the price of your roof
- Roof size, measured in squares (one square = 100 sq ft of roof surface).
- Pitch and complexity: steep pitches, multiple valleys, dormers, and hips raise labor.
- Tear-off and layers: removing old shingles and disposing of multiple layers adds cost.
- Decking condition: rotted or damaged decking found during tear-off must be replaced.
- Material grade: Class 3 vs Class 4 impact-rated shingles, and 26-gauge standing-seam metal.
- Accessories: new flashing, drip edge, ridge vent, underlayment, and pipe boots.
