National Averages — 2026

A full roof replacement in the United States costs between $9,000 and $15,000 for a typical single-family home using asphalt shingles in 2026 — up approximately 12% from 2023 due to rising labor costs and material inflation. The actual price for your home depends on your state, roof size, pitch, and material choice.

ScopeCost Range
Full range nationally (all home sizes, all materials)$5,500–$30,000+
Typical range (asphalt, mid-size home)$9,000–$15,000
Metal roofing (40–70 year lifespan)$15,000–$25,000
Repair range (patch to section replacement)$300–$2,000

These ranges assume a 1,500–2,500 sq ft single-story home with a standard-pitch roof, standard architectural asphalt shingles, and no significant deck damage. Larger homes, steeper pitches, premium materials, or deck repairs will push costs above these ranges.

5 Factors That Affect Roof Replacement Cost

Two homes in the same city can have roof replacement quotes that differ by $5,000 or more. These are the factors that explain most of that variance.

1. Roof Size (Squares)

Roofing is priced by the “square” — 100 sq ft of roof surface. A 2,000 sq ft home typically has a 22–26 square roof depending on pitch. Every additional square adds roughly $300–$600 in material and labor.

2. Roof Pitch (Steepness)

Steep roofs (6:12 pitch or higher) require additional safety equipment, slower work pace, and often a larger crew. A steep roof can add $1,000–$3,000 to a standard replacement cost.

3. Material Choice

3-tab asphalt shingles are the lowest cost option. Architectural (dimensional) shingles cost 15–25% more and last longer. Metal roofing, tile, and slate are premium materials that can triple the base cost but deliver 40–100+ year lifespans.

4. Deck Condition

If the underlying plywood or OSB decking has rot or soft spots, it must be replaced before new shingles go down. Deck repairs add $50–$100 per sheet of plywood and can add $1,000–$3,000 to a job depending on extent.

5. Number of Old Layers

Some homes have two layers of old shingles that must be torn off before replacement. Tear-off adds $1,000–$2,000 to the project and is required by most building codes before installing a new roof.
