How much does a new roof cost in 2026?

A typical U.S. asphalt-shingle roof replacement runs $9,000–$16,000 for an average 2,000 sq ft home. Premium materials like metal, tile, and slate can push totals to $30,000–$60,000+.

What factors change the price of a roof?

Roof size, pitch, complexity (valleys, dormers), number of stories, tear-off vs overlay, chosen material, and regional labor rates.

Is a tear-off worth the extra cost?

Yes in almost every case. A full tear-off lets the crew inspect and replace damaged decking, extends the new roof's lifespan, and is required by code after the second layer.
