FAQs

How much does an asphalt shingle roof cost for an average home?

A full asphalt shingle replacement on an average 1,800 sq ft roof typically runs $7,650–$11,250 using architectural shingles, the most common tier. 3-tab economy shingles bring that down to roughly $5,850–$8,550, while premium impact-resistant shingles can run $10,800–$17,100.

What’s the difference between 3-tab and architectural shingles?

3-tab shingles are flat, single-layer, and the most affordable option, typically lasting 20–25 years. Architectural (dimensional) shingles are thicker, layered for a textured look, more wind- and impact-resistant, and typically last 25–30 years — they now account for the large majority of residential shingle installs.

Does tear-off cost extra?

Yes. Removing your existing roof runs an additional $0.80–$2.50 per sq ft depending on how many layers are being removed, on top of the shingle installation cost shown above.

How long do asphalt shingles last?

Standard asphalt shingles last 20–30 years with proper ventilation and maintenance, compared to 40–70 years for metal and 50–100 years for tile or slate.
