What will a new roof cost?
Roof replacement cost in Cleveland, Ohio
What does a new roof cost in the Cleveland area? It depends mostly on how big the roof is, how steep it is, and what it is made of.
Roofers price a replacement by the square, which is 100 square feet of roof. The roof replacement calculator above turns your home's size, number of stories, garage, roof pitch, roof shape, layers to remove, and material into a ballpark range. It is based on our own recent roofs around Cleveland, and it needs no phone number or email.
Asphalt shingles are the most common roof in Northeast Ohio, and they set the baseline for the calculator. Metal, cedar shake, tile, and slate cost more than shingles, and their prices vary more from job to job, so the range the calculator shows for them is wider.
What changes the price of a new roof
Six things move the number. The calculator asks about all but the last.
- Size and stories
- A bigger footprint or an attached garage adds roof area, and every square adds material and labor.
- Pitch
- Steep roofs have more surface and are slower and harder to work on.
- Shape
- Dormers, valleys, and many angles mean more cutting, flashing, and waste.
- Old layers
- Each extra layer of old roofing adds tear-off and disposal work.
- Material
- Shingles, metal, cedar, tile, and slate differ widely in price and in how long they last.
- Decking and extras
- Rotted wood under the old roof, chimney work, and gutters are priced separately after an inspection.
