A fair price for a new roof depends on what's actually under those shingles. Most homeowners ask the right question and get the wrong answer because they're comparing bids that don't cover the same scope. Residential roofing installations vary significantly based on the size of the home, the pitch of the roof, the condition of the existing decking, and the materials you choose. The only way to know what your job costs is to have someone who knows what they're looking at get up there and look.

A full residential roofing installation isn't just new shingles over old felt. The process starts with stripping the existing materials down to the decking, inspecting every board for rot, soft spots, or structural issues, and replacing anything that won't support a 20- to 30-year roof. From there, it's a proper underlayment system, drip edge, ice and water shield in the vulnerable zones, and then the roofing material itself, installed to manufacturer specs so the warranty actually holds. Material options range from standard three-tab and architectural asphalt shingles to impact-resistant shingles rated for Central Texas hail, and metal roofing for homeowners who want a 40- to 50-year solution. On the cost side, a straightforward residential installation can run anywhere from $8,000 to $30,000 or more depending on square footage, pitch, material choice, and what the decking reveals once we're up there.
