Roof replacement pricing varies more than most homeowners realize. Roof size, pitch, material, decking condition, ventilation upgrades and tear-off complexity all move the number. Here is a plain-English guide to what drives the price.
Typical price range
Most residential asphalt shingle replacements in the Upstate fall between $9,000 and $22,000. Standing seam metal typically runs two to three times that range. The actual number for your home depends on the specific factors below.
What drives the price
Square footage of the roof, roof pitch (steeper roofs cost more to walk), number of penetrations and valleys, condition of the decking (any rot or sagging adds material), ventilation upgrades, and the specific shingle line you choose.
Get an honest quote
An itemized quote should show line items for tear-off, decking allowance, underlayment, shingles, ridge vent, flashing, drip edge and clean-up. If a quote does not show line items, ask for one that does.
