Roofing prices move with local labour rates, permit costs and tear-off disposal fees, so a national average is a poor guide to what any single job costs. Pick a city to see its own 2026 price per square and typical whole-roof total.
Nationally, replacing a 2,000 sq ft roof (20 squares) with architectural shingles costs about $11,000 – $16,500 including tear-off of one layer ($5.50 – $8.25 per sq ft), or $9,000 – $13,000 without it. The Cost vs Value 2025 report, a full-scope contractor survey, puts a 30-square asphalt job at $31,871.
Every material, roof size and state is on the roof cost per square foot page.

Figures are per square — 100 square feet of finished roof — for installed work including tear-off, and are 2026 planning estimates rather than quoted prices. Squares shown allow for a typical 6/12 pitch and 10% waste. Always get three written quotes before committing.
It represents local labour rates, permit and inspection overhead, and disposal costs measured against the state baseline. A multiplier of 1.20 means roof work in that metro runs about 20% above the state average.
The list covers the largest US metros. If yours is not here, the state page gives the baseline, and rural areas generally sit at or slightly below it while any large metro sits above.
No. They are 2026 planning estimates for budgeting, not offers. Pitch, complexity, tear-off layers and the condition of the decking all change the real number.
Not necessarily. Higher-cost metros usually have stricter code and inspection regimes, and the work that costs more is often work that has to be done to a higher standard.
