Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to replace a roof in 2025?+
Nationally, expect around $8.50 per square foot installed for architectural asphalt shingles — roughly $12,000–$22,000 for a 2,000 sq ft roof. Costs are higher in the Northeast and West Coast and lower in the South and Midwest.
How long does a roof replacement take?+
A typical asphalt shingle tear-off and replacement takes 1–3 days. Metal, tile, and slate can take a week or more depending on complexity.
Will insurance pay for a new roof?+
Homeowners insurance typically covers roof replacement when damage is caused by a covered peril (hail, wind, fallen tree) — not for wear and age. Document damage, file promptly, and consider an independent inspection.
Should I re-roof over the old shingles or tear off?+
Tear-off is strongly recommended. Overlay saves 10–15% but hides deck damage, shortens the new roof's life, and voids many manufacturer warranties.
When is the best time of year to replace a roof?+
Late spring through early fall in most climates. In hail-prone states, book pre-season (Feb–April) to avoid post-storm backlogs.
