FAQ
Roof replacement cost — common questions
What does a roof replacement cost in 2026?+
Nationwide median for a 2,000–2,500 sq ft single-family asphalt-shingle roof is $9,200–$28,500. Costs vary by state: budget around $9,500 in low-cost markets (Mississippi, Arkansas) and up to $36,000 in high-cost states (California, Hawaii).
What's included in a typical roof replacement quote?+
Tear-off of one layer of old shingles, disposal/dump fees, synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield on eaves and valleys, drip edge, new shingles, ridge cap, basic step-flashing, and labor. Premium upgrades like ridge vent, full deck replacement, or upgrading to metal/tile push the total up.
Why is my roof quote different from my neighbor's?+
Three big drivers: roof area (varies more than you'd think), pitch (steeper = more labor), and complexity (valleys, dormers, chimneys all add cost). Roof shape often varies more between two houses on the same street than people realize.
How can I get the cheapest fair price?+
Get our free satellite-measured quote first — that's the median fair-market price for your area. Then call 2–3 local roofers and ask them to match or beat. Anything materially above our number is typically a markup; anything below is usually a corner being cut.
Should I use the cheapest roofer?+
Match the median, not the bottom. The cheapest quote usually skips warranty, uses 3-tab shingles instead of architectural, or sub-contracts to a crew you can't follow up with. Our number is the fair price — pay roughly that, but pick the most professional contractor in that range.
