What it costs
Three shapes of job, and what each one runs.
Roofing decisions come down to repair, replace, or replace with an upgrade. Typical 2026 regional ranges for a single-family home.
Repair
Targeted repair
A roof with life left and a specific failure: flashing, a valley, storm damage in one area.
$400 - $2,500per repair
- Photographs of what was found, before and after
- The actual entry point traced, not just the stain patched
- Matching material where the shingle is still made
- Written note on how much life the rest of the roof has

Replace most common
Full replacement, architectural shingle
A roof at the end of its life, or storm damage across the whole surface.
$9,000 - $22,000for a typical home
- Tear-off to the deck, and the deck inspected with you told what was found
- Ice and water barrier at valleys and penetrations
- New flashing rather than reusing the old
- Manufacturer and workmanship warranties, in writing

Upgrade
Metal or premium system
A homeowner staying put, who would rather buy the last roof than the next one.
$20,000 - $50,000for a typical home
- Standing-seam metal or premium architectural systems
- Full ventilation design, not just replacing what was there
- Gutters and fascia addressed at the same time
- Long-form warranty with the manufacturer's inspection

What moves the number
- Pitch and storeys, which decide how the crew has to work and stay safe
- How much decking is bad, which nobody knows until the tear-off
- Layers already up there, since removal is labour and disposal
- Material choice, from three-tab to architectural to metal
- Whether insurance is covering part of it, and what the policy allows
These are typical regional ranges for 2026, not a quote. Every job is
different and the only number that matters is the one you get in writing after somebody has
seen it. This is here so you know the scale before you pick up the phone.
