Asphalt shingle roof replacement cost — FAQ
- How much does it cost to replace an asphalt shingle roof?
- Most homeowners spend about $7,000–$17,000 to replace an asphalt shingle roof on a typical 2,000 sq ft roof, averaging around $10,250. Installed, that's roughly $3.50–$8.50 per square foot depending on shingle grade and roof complexity.
- How much is a roof per square?
- Roofers price in 'squares' (100 sq ft). Asphalt shingles run about $200–$700 per square installed depending on type — roughly $80–$280 per square for materials alone.
- What's the difference between 3-tab and architectural shingles?
- 3-tab shingles are cheapest (about $3.50–$5 per sq ft installed) and last ~15–20 years. Architectural (dimensional) shingles cost more ($5.50–$8 per sq ft) but look better and last longer — now the most common choice. Premium/designer shingles run higher still.
- Does roof size mean my house's square footage?
- No — roof area is larger than your home's footprint because of slope and overhangs, usually 1.3–1.7× the floor area. A 1,500 sq ft single-story home often has roughly 1,700–2,200 sq ft of roof.
