| Covering | Per square | Typical whole roof | Expected life |
|---|---|---|---|
| Architectural asphalt shingleThe default choice on most American homes, and usually the right one. | $650 – $975 | $13,000 – $30,000 | 25 to 30 years |
| Standing-seam metalThe long game. Costs double up front and outlives two shingle roofs. | $1,500 – $2,600 | $30,000 – $80,500 | 40 to 70 years |
What moves the price
- How many old layers have to come off before the new one goes on
- Pitch — anything over about 7:12 needs staging and slows a crew down
- Whether the valleys, drip edge and step flashing are being replaced or reused
- The number of penetrations: chimneys, skylights, vents, solar mounts
- Access — a truck that cannot get near the house adds hours to every load
Locally
They also drive ember risk, which is why vent screening and Class A assemblies matter more here than the colour of the covering.
The arithmetic favours metal if you are staying more than about fifteen years, and favours asphalt if you are not.

Questions about price
Do I have to hire anyone?
Not at all. Plenty of people use this to find out what a job costs and then do nothing for a year. That is a perfectly reasonable outcome.
Can I just put a new roof over the old one?
Often you legally can, and it is usually a poor idea. Overlaying hides the condition of the decking, adds weight, shortens the life of the new shingles by trapping heat, and doubles the cost of the next tear-off.
Are you a roofing company?
No, and it matters that we say so. We are a referral service, not a contractor. The roofing work, the licence, the insurance and the warranty all sit with the independent company you choose.
