Roof Shingle Cost

Asphalt shingle is the most common roofing material used in the Midwest. The cost of installing asphalt shingle can range from $4.90 to $8.90+ per square foot. Some of the factors that will affect the cost of your roof project include material grade, height and pitch of the roof, home size, size of the roofing surface, and requirements from your building officials. Below are options available to you.

Roof Layover

It is the fastest and least costly option you may have to restore your roof. This consists of a new shingle overlay over your existing shingle to restore the look of your roof and add an additional layer of protection. Cost starts at $4.90 per square foot.

A shingle layover on a ranch style home with a walkable roof pitch (4/12 to 6/12) and a roof area of 1,800 sf can cost $8,820 or $4.90 per square foot.

A 2 story home with a non-walkable roof pitch (7/12 to 9/12) and roof area of 1,800 sf can cost $14,220 or $7.90 per square foot.

Tear-off Options

We offer several roof system options to fit any budget when it comes to a full replacement. Each roof system is designed to meet minimum building codes and in some cases to exceed them. A tear off project consists of the full removal of all shingle layers and underlayment down to the roof deck and consequently the installation of the roofing products. Each jobsite is cared for and protection is placed around the house to prevent damage during the tear off. Below you will find the three most popular roof systems we offer along with materials and warranty options.
