Roof replacement cost for asphalt shingles has a typical installed planning figure of $10,000, within a sourced range of $6,000 to $14,000. The figures include materials and installation. They are a starting budget, not a quote for your home. Roofing material, roof area and the scope of additional work can change the comparison. Use the source notes alongside the tables rather than treating the typical figure as a fixed price.
By roofing material
Compare the material rows as installed totals. Metal, tile and slate ranges are wide because the sources differ a lot, not because every job spans the entire range. Tile uses two sources, Angi and HomeGuide; Fixr is not used because it prices concrete and clay tile separately. The averages used for the asphalt typical figure are the publishers' overall replacement averages, not averages limited to asphalt. Their original descriptions remain in the source details.
| Roofing material | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingle | $6,000 | $10,000 | $14,000 |
| Metal | $7,500 | $23,750 | $38,000 |
| Tile | $9,500 | $27,000 | $44,450 |
| Slate or stone | $20,000 | $40,000 | $60,000 |
| Wood shake | $12,900 | $20,550 | $28,200 |
Installed totals for materials and installation. The median rule combines the supplied ranges; stated overall averages supply the asphalt typical figure. Tile has two source figures, while the other material rows have three.

By roof area
The sizes tables in the sources do not name a roofing material. They are offered with the asphalt option here, not presented as confirmed asphalt-only prices. HomeGuide's table describes a single-story home and a specified pitch; its scope note stays attached to each figure. Choosing an area replaces the material starting row in the estimator. It is not an area charge to add on top, and the area refers to roofing rather than simply the home's floor area.
| Roof area | Low | Typical | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,120 sq ft roof | $4,200 | $6,850 | $9,500 |
| 2,235 sq ft roof | $8,200 | $13,600 | $19,000 |
| 3,355 sq ft roof | $12,350 | $20,450 | $28,500 |
Roof area, not floor area. Both sources leave the material unnamed, and these alternative starting ranges are offered with asphalt only. The original scope notes remain below.

What adds to the price
Permit costs are separately listed by all the publishers. The combined typical figure is $300, with a range of $100 to $500. Angi notes that the cost varies by city. The estimator offers this item for each material and adds it in full when selected. Confirm whether a quote already includes a permit before adding it again. The other cost facts below are not selectable estimator extras.
| Additional work | Typical | Range | Applies to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Permit | $300 | $100 to $500 | Asphalt shingle, Metal, Tile, Slate or stone, Wood shake |
The permit is added only when selected. Applies to identifies the dataset's material options, not whether a permit charge is needed or already included in your quote.

Area rates, labor and other costs
Keep the following statements separate from the combined installed ranges. Each is taken from a single named source and retains its original amount and scope. Per-area rates, labor measures and possible repair costs are not interchangeable totals. They do not provide enough information to calculate a specific repair bill or multiply an hourly rate into a complete replacement quote.
Cost per square foot
These rates describe different scopes. Angi and Fixr cover all materials; HomeGuide's rate here covers asphalt shingles. Each statement keeps its own attribution rather than being combined into another rate.
- Cost per square foot of roof, all materials
- $4 to $11
- Source: Angi
- Cost per square foot of roof, all materials
- $3.75 to $11, average $4.75
- Source: Fixr
- Cost per square foot, asphalt shingles
- $3 to $6
- Source: HomeGuide
Labor figures
The publishers describe labor as an hourly rate, a rate per roofing square or a share of the installed total. These are context, not extra charges in the estimator. A rate alone does not tell you the time or work a particular job requires.
- Roofer hourly rate
- $40 to $90 per hour per worker, with at least two workers on a job
- Source: Angi
- Labor per roofing square, shingle or flat roofs
- $150 to $300 per square, where a square is 100 square feet
- Source: HomeGuide
- Share of the total that is labor
- 40 to 60 percent of the total, about $4,000 to $6,000, covering removal of the old roof, underlayment and installation
- Source: Fixr
Other costs in the sources
The sources list the following possible costs separately. None is automatically added to the estimate. Ask whether a quoted scope includes an item before treating it as an additional charge; the guide cannot establish which repairs your roof needs.
- Steep roof pitch
- $1,000 to $3,000 extra in labor and materials
- Source: Angi
- Decking or sheathing replacement
- $2 to $5 per square foot installed
- Source: HomeGuide
- Decking or sheathing repair found after tear-off
- $2 to $8 per square foot
- Source: Fixr
- Fascia and soffit repair found after tear-off
- $500 to $2,500
- Source: Fixr
- Significant rafter damage
- Up to $5,000
- Source: Fixr
- Skylights
- $1,600 to $4,200 to install, $800 to $2,400 to replace
- Source: HomeGuide
- Gutter replacement
- $12 to $25 per linear foot

Estimate your replacement
Choose a material, an area if the asphalt option and a sourced area row suit your comparison, and whether to include the permit. Not sure keeps the material starting range. Area level selects a part of the sourced range; it is not a local price adjustment. The assumptions explain how the result is formed. No inspection, repair allowance or warranty charge is added automatically, so a written quote may cover work outside these choices.
Typical estimate
$10,000
Estimated range, not a quote
$8,000 to $12,000
Assumptions
- Installed base: Asphalt shingle, no size selected.
- Average area level uses low-to-typical and typical-to-high midpoints as bounds, with the sourced typical unchanged.
- No applicable extras included.
- Extras are added in full, and sourced installed ranges are treated as not including them.
- Labor rows are informational only and are not added to installed costs.
Where these numbers come from
Angi, HomeGuide and Fixr supply the published figures. Their dates and scope notes are shown below so you can inspect the evidence rather than relying only on the combined result. Fixr describes a home and roofing-area assumption, while the other sources use their own tables and material categories. The checked date records the dataset review date. It does not establish that any publisher or contractor has kept prices unchanged since then.

The low and high are the medians of the published bounds. For an even set, the median is the mean of the central pair. Typical uses the median of stated averages when available, otherwise the median of the source midpoints. Derived figures round to twenty-five-dollar steps below a thousand dollars and fifty-dollar steps at or above that threshold, with exact halves rounded up. Raw evidence is unchanged. The estimator selects its base bounds, adds applicable extras in full and rounds the final totals.
How we calculateQuestions people ask
What is a typical roof replacement cost?
- The asphalt shingle starting row has a typical installed figure of $10,000 and a sourced range of $6,000 to $14,000. Materials and installation are included. The stated averages used for typical cover overall replacement costs in the sources, so the figure should be read with that limitation rather than as a precise asphalt-only quote.
Why are metal, tile and slate cost ranges so wide?
- The publishers give substantially different ranges and scopes. The combined metal range is $7,500 to $38,000, tile is $9,500 to $44,450 and slate or stone is $20,000 to $60,000. The median rule keeps a consistent calculation but cannot remove those differences. Open the source figures to see which descriptions sit behind each row.
Are the roof area rows asphalt-specific prices?
- No. The source size tables do not name a roofing material. This guide offers those rows with the asphalt option and preserves that limitation in the table and source notes. A selected area replaces the starting range; it does not add another installed total. Use Not sure if none of those rows is a suitable comparison.
Does the roof estimate add labor again?
- No. The starting ranges already cover materials and installation. The separate labor facts are attributed context and are not added. A selected permit is added in full under the listed assumptions. Other repair, warranty or additional-work figures remain facts, not automatic allowances in the estimate.
Which sources are used for tile replacement?
- Tile uses Angi and HomeGuide, giving a combined typical figure of $27,000 within $9,500 to $44,450. Fixr is excluded from this row because it lists concrete and clay tile separately. The source details show the unrounded bounds so the combined result can be checked against the original figures.
Compare written quotes with matching material, roof area and scope rather than judging a quote against the typical figure alone. Keep included work, exclusions and source dates beside the comparison. This guide does not diagnose roof damage or prescribe a roofing choice. Where a quote includes work outside the estimator, ask for a separate explanation of that scope.
