What Is Average Roof Replacement Cost
Replacing a roof is priced by its size and pitch, the material and quality you choose, and whether the old roof is torn off first. Walkable, simpler roofs cost less; steeper or larger ones cost more. The accurate figure for your home is an itemized written quote from a licensed local contractor.

GuideWhat affects a roof replacement's cost?
Four levers move the price most: the roof's size and pitch, the material you choose, whether the old roof is torn off, and your local labor rates. Complexity - valleys, chimneys and skylights - and any hidden decking repairs add to the total. Two homes on the same street can price differently for these reasons.
How do you get an accurate price?
Estimates and ranges are a starting point - the number that actually matters is an itemized written quote for your address. For the bigger picture, see our roofing cost guide, then request written quotes from local pros. Comparing a few, line by line, is the surest way to a fair price.
