Average Roof Replacement Cost (2026)
Most SquareDash homeowners pay between $15,400 and $20,500 for a full roof replacement on a standard 2,000 sq ft home. The exact cost depends on your roof size, pitch, material choice, and location.
Every quote is a fixed price, generated from satellite measurement of your exact roof in 30 seconds. No estimator visit. No negotiation. No surprise change orders mid-job.
The all-in price covers tear-off, disposal, new underlayment, drip edge, flashing, ridge vents, labor, permits, and cleanup. If a contractor quotes you separately for any of those line items, they are padding the price. SquareDash bundles every line item into one transparent number so you know what you owe before you sign anything.
Cost by Roof Size
Square footage is the single biggest driver of roof replacement cost. A 1,000 sq ft roof uses roughly half the materials and labor of a 2,000 sq ft roof, so the price scales almost linearly.
SquareDash measures your exact roof area using satellite imagery in 30 seconds. No estimator visit, no scheduling, no waiting. That measurement feeds directly into your quote, so there is zero guesswork.
Below is what you can expect to pay across our three Owens Corning material tiers. All prices are all-inclusive with no hidden fees.
| Roof Size | Good (Oakridge) | Better (Duration) | Best (FLEX) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 sq ft | $7,700 | $9,000 | $10,200 |
| 1,500 sq ft | $11,600 | $13,500 | $15,400 |
| 2,000 sq ft | $15,400 | $18,000 | $20,500 |
| 2,500 sq ft | $19,300 | $22,500 | $25,600 |
| 3,000 sq ft | $23,100 | $27,000 | $30,700 |
Cost by Material
Material choice is the second-largest factor in your roof price. Three-tab shingles are the cheapest option but offer a flat appearance and shorter lifespan. Architectural shingles are the most popular choice in America, offering a dimensional look, better wind resistance, and longer warranties.
Metal roofing costs significantly more upfront but lasts 40-70 years with virtually no maintenance. Slate and tile are premium options that can last a century but require specialized installation and a roof structure strong enough to support the weight.
SquareDash offers three Owens Corning packages: Good (Oakridge, 30-year warranty), Better (Duration, Lifetime warranty), and Best (Duration FLEX, Lifetime warranty plus Class 4 impact resistance). All three use the same licensed crews and include identical installation quality.

What Affects Your Roof Price?
Roof size is the single biggest factor. Our satellite AI measures your exact roof area in 30 seconds, so you know your number before talking to anyone. Roof pitch matters too: steeper roofs cost more because they require more safety equipment and take longer to install. A 6/12 pitch is average; anything above 8/12 adds 10-20% to the cost.
Complexity plays a significant role. A simple gable roof is cheapest. Hip roofs, multiple valleys, and dormers add complexity and cost. Our satellite measurement detects all of these automatically. Material choice determines your per-square-foot rate, and location affects labor rates. The South and Midwest tend to be cheaper, while the Northeast and West Coast run higher.
Other factors include the number of layers to tear off (most jurisdictions allow a maximum of two layers), the condition of the decking underneath, and whether you need new gutters, fascia, or soffit work at the same time. SquareDash includes standard tear-off in every quote. If we find rotted decking during installation, we replace it at a pre-agreed per-sheet rate with no surprise charges.
What You Get for the Price
SquareDash is an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred contractor. That puts us in the top 1% of OC-certified contractors nationally. The certification unlocks the full Owens Corning warranty stack — including extended labor coverage and non-prorated material warranties — that standard contractors cannot offer.
Every job uses Master Elite-trained crews on the Best tier (Duration FLEX), and licensed, insured, background-checked crews on Good and Better. All workmanship is backed by a 25-year SquareDash workmanship warranty, vs. the industry-typical 5-10 years.
The price is fixed before you sign. Satellite measurement is accurate to within 2% of true roof area, so we can quote your exact number in 30 seconds and stand behind it. If we discover rotted decking during the job, we replace it at a pre-agreed per-sheet rate that is disclosed in your quote — no surprise add-ons.
