Roof replacement cost data study
GeoQuote models asphalt-shingle roof replacement at a national base of $4.00-$6.66 per sq ft before metro adjustments. For a typical 1,700-2,000 sq ft home, that creates a national planning range of about $7,600-$14,885 before unusual decking, access, code, or material upgrades.

typical roof area proxy for 1,700-2,000 sq ft homes
Formula: source installed-cost base x country factor x metro multiplier = modeled cost per sq ft. Total range uses 1,900 sq ft for the low side and 2,235 sq ft for the high side to approximate a typical 1,700-2,000 sq ft home.
US rows use the HomeGuide/Homewyse-derived national base directly. Canadian rows apply a 1.18x Canada planning factor and are displayed in CAD, then apply the disclosed Canadian metro multiplier.
This is a citable planning model for roof replacement cost, new roof cost, average roof replacement cost, and Canada/US metro comparisons. It is not a substitute for a contractor quote, insurance scope, roof measurement report, or permit-specific estimate.
Use the roof cost calculator for roof area, pitch, material, tear-off, and complexity adjustments.
For a typical 1,700-2,000 sq ft home, GeoQuote models asphalt-shingle roof replacement at about $7,600-$19,600 in many US metros before unusual decking, access, code, or material upgrades. Higher-cost coastal and Northeast metros can run materially higher. Canadian rows are modeled in CAD.
This study uses a national asphalt-shingle installed-cost base of $4.00-$6.66 per sq ft, adapted from HomeGuide and cross-checked against Homewyse. Metro rows apply disclosed regional multipliers to that base.
Metro-level roof replacement cost varies because roofing labor, disposal, permitting, insurance, weather windows, access, material availability, and code requirements differ by market. The table uses planning multipliers to show that spread.
No. These are planning ranges for comparison and SEO/AEO reference. Final contractor quotes should confirm roof area, pitch, tear-off layers, decking, ventilation, flashing, local code, and material selection.
Use the metro table for local planning context, then use the roof cost calculator to adjust roof area, material, pitch, tear-off layers, complexity, waste, and country assumptions for a more specific estimate.
Homeowners researching roof replacement cost are close enough to buying that contractors should capture the address, roof context, phone verification, and follow-up permission before they leave.
