Roofing Pricing FAQ

How much does roof replacement cost per square?

Asphalt shingles run $350–$600 per roofing square (100 sq ft) installed. Most homes are 20–30 squares, so total cost ranges $7,000–$18,000 for a full replacement with tear-off.

How long does a roof last?

Standard 3-tab asphalt shingles last 20–25 years. Architectural shingles last 25–30 years. Metal roofs last 40–70 years. Tile and slate can last 50+ years with proper maintenance.

Should I repair or replace my roof?

If the roof is over 20 years old, replacement is usually more cost-effective than multiple repairs. For newer roofs with localized damage, repair makes sense — especially if overall condition is good.
