2026 Roofing Price Guide
Understanding roof cost per square helps homeowners estimate the price of replacing a roof before contacting contractors. Roofing prices are commonly calculated using “squares,” which represent 100 square feet of roof surface.
This guide explains the average cost of replacing a roof based on home size, roofing materials, labor costs, roof pitch, and installation complexity across the United States.
Average Roof Replacement Cost in 2026
In most parts of the United States, the average roof replacement cost per square ranges from $450 to $1,200 depending on roofing materials, roof pitch, labor rates, and removal of existing shingles. Asphalt shingles are typically the most affordable option, while metal, tile, and slate roofing systems cost significantly more per square.
| Roof Size | Average Replacement Cost |

| 1,500 sq ft | $7,000 – $11,000 |
| 2,000 sq ft | $9,000 – $15,000 |

How to Calculate Roof Replacement Cost
To estimate roof replacement costs, first determine the total size of your roof in squares. One roofing square equals 100 square feet of roof surface. Multiply the number of squares by the average cost per square for your chosen roofing material.
Roof complexity, ventilation upgrades, tear-off requirements, and structural repairs can increase total installation costs.
