    What pushes a quote up

    Roof size in squaresRoofers price by the square, 100 square feet. Your roof is bigger than your floor plan.
    Pitch and shapeSteep roofs, valleys, dormers and chimneys slow the crew and add flashing.
    Tear off layersRemoving two old layers costs more than one.
    DeckingRotted plywood under the shingles is replaced by the sheet.
    MaterialAsphalt is the low end. Metal, tile and slate cost two to five times as much.

    Roof replacement cost by region

    Lower cost states$6,400 to $17,600. Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, West Virginia and most rural areas.

    Higher cost states$10,400 to $28,600. California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Washington, plus big metros such as Chicago, Denver and Washington DC.

    These rows are our estimate. We took the typical national range and adjusted it for local labor costs, which run about 20 percent lower in the cheapest states and about 30 percent higher in the dearest ones. Hurricane states add code upgrades. One Florida example: roof to wall connection upgrades can add $850 to $5,000.

    Two price increases in one year: what they mean for your quote

    A St. Louis roofer published the distributor letters: GAF, Owens Corning and CertainTeed raised shingle and accessory prices 6 to 10 percent effective June 1, 2026, after a first round of 4 to 8 percent in April. CertainTeed added a separate freight surcharge in May. RoofVista, which tracks roofing prices, puts the national average replacement at $20,500 to $21,500 after the April increases. A Florida roofer estimates most homeowners pay 15 to 25 percent more in 2026 than in 2024.

    That is why the averages on this page disagree. Angi's $9,500 average includes many small, simple roofs. The newer numbers reflect a full 2026 tear off at current material prices. If your roof is average size and pitch, plan for $10,000 to $15,000 in asphalt, and more if you have a big or steep roof.

    What a square is

    Roofers price by the square, which is 100 square feet of roof. The roof is larger than the house footprint because of the pitch and the overhang. A 1,700 square foot roof is 17 squares. Ask every roofer for the number of squares and the price per square, and compare those two numbers.

    Insurance

    If storm damage caused the need for a new roof, your policy may pay part of it. Get the adjuster's report before you sign with a roofer.

    Why this costs more in 2026

    Asphalt shingles are made from petroleum. GAF, Owens Corning and CertainTeed announced 6 to 10 percent increases on June 1, 2026, after a 4 to 8 percent round in April.

    Two costs moved in 2026. Diesel passed $6 a gallon on September 11 (CBS 8 reporting AAA), and building inputs rose 4.8 percent in a year (Roofing Contractor). Ask if your price can change before work starts.
