For a 1,500–2,000 sq ft roof — the most common size — a full asphalt shingle replacement costs $7,400–$10,900 installed, including tear-off of one existing layer. Smaller roofs (under 1,500 sq ft) run $5,100–$7,500, and larger roofs over 3,000 sq ft run $14,900–$21,900.

Metal roofing costs roughly 2–4x more than asphalt shingles upfront — $15,000–$42,000 for a typical 2,000 sq ft roof depending on panel type, versus $7,400–$10,900 for shingles. Metal lasts significantly longer (40–70 years vs. 20–30), so the lifetime cost gap is smaller than the upfront price suggests.

A small, localized roof repair (50–200 sq ft, the most common type) costs $400–$1,100. Minor fixes like a few shingles or flashing run $150–$450, while major storm damage over 500 sq ft can run $2,500–$6,500. Emergency tarping to stop an active leak runs $450–$2,200.
