Question 1

How much does a new roof cost?

Accepted Answer

The national average for a full asphalt shingle roof replacement is $8,000–$14,000 for a ~2,000 sq ft home, but costs vary significantly by location, material, and contractor.

Question 2

What factors affect roofing costs?

Accepted Answer

Roof size (sq ft), pitch, material type (asphalt, metal, tile, TPO), tear-off of old layers, local labor rates, and permit fees all affect the final price.

Question 3

Does homeowners insurance cover roof replacement?

Accepted Answer

Insurance typically covers damage from sudden events (hail, wind, fire). Age-related wear or neglect is usually not covered. Many HomeProVerify contractors can help you navigate the claims process.
