"How much will a new roof cost?" is the first question most homeowners ask — and the honest answer is: it depends. Here are the main factors that drive the price.
Roof size
Roofing is priced by the "square" (100 sq ft). A larger roof simply needs more material and labor.
Materials
Standard architectural asphalt shingles cost less than premium, designer, metal, or tile options.
Roof pitch and complexity
Steep roofs and those with many valleys, hips, and penetrations take more labor and safety equipment.
Tear-off and decking
Removing old layers and replacing any rotted decking adds to the scope.
Insurance and financing
If your roof was damaged by a covered storm, a large portion of the cost may be handled through your insurance claim. For non-covered replacements, financing can spread the cost into manageable monthly payments.
