Shingle Roof Cost by State
How Geographic Location Affects Roof Replacement Costs: Across the United States, replacing a residential asphalt shingle roof on an average 2,000 square foot home ranges from approximately $7,400 to $18,500. Regional pricing is heavily driven by prevailing skilled trade labor wages, local building permit fees, cold-climate ice dam mandates, and hurricane windborne debris codes.
