How much does a roof replacement cost?
A full roof replacement costs $5,700–$25,000 installed for most homes nationally — the number the 95 metro pages above each adjust for local labor rates. Premium materials (high-end tile, natural slate) run $40,000–$70,000+. Steep pitch, multiple stories, and structural repairs raise the total. This is the same national range behind every metro figure on this page; use the table above for your city, or the roof replacement cost calculator for a number sized to your own roof.
| Roofing material | Installed, full replacement |
|---|---|
| Asphalt shingles | $5,700–$12,000 |
| Metal (standing seam) | $10,000–$40,000 |
| Tile (concrete / clay) | $10,500–$62,500 |
| Natural slate | $22,000–$70,000 |
National whole-job totals for a typical home, from this page's own sourced dataset (Angi, HomeGuide, This Old House — see the calculator for full sourcing and dates). Metro figures above already build on these same national numbers; this table is the material breakdown behind the national typical, not a separate estimate.
Roof replacement cost by state
If you are comparing states rather than cities, these pages average every metro area above that falls inside a state. They are a coarser number than the metro rows by design — useful for setting expectations, not for budgeting a job.
- Roof replacement cost in Arizona — typically $13,854 across 2 metro areas
- Roof replacement cost in Maryland — typically $15,783 across 3 metro areas
- Roof replacement cost in Ohio — typically $15,109 across 6 metro areas
- Roof replacement cost in Texas — typically $13,403 across 5 metro areas
How this is calculated
- Labor share 60%. Roofing is the most labor-heavy of these projects. Tear-off, disposal, and installation dominate the bill, and asphalt shingles themselves are comparatively cheap — which is why roofing prices vary more between metros than almost any other home project.
- Metro labor factor: mean annual wage for roofers in each metro ÷ the national mean for the same occupation.
- Materials: We vary labor by metro and hold materials at the national level. That is deliberate: shingles, copper, HVAC equipment, and cabinets are nationally traded and priced, and what actually varies locally is freight and sales tax — both small next to the labor spread. We have no metro-level materials index we can defend, so rather than invent one, we vary only what we can source.
- Coverage: 95 of 100 metros. The rest are missing because BLS suppresses wage data for this trade there, and we do not fill gaps with estimates.
