What affects the cost?
- Roof size — measured in "squares" (100 sq ft each); a typical home is 20–35 squares
- Material — asphalt shingles are cheapest ($3–$5/sq ft installed), metal is mid-range ($7–$14), tile and slate are premium ($10–$25+)
- Roof pitch/steepness — steep roofs require extra safety equipment and take longer
- Layers to remove — tearing off old layers before installing new ones adds $1,000–$3,000
- Structural damage — rotted decking or damaged rafters must be repaired first
- Permits and inspections — most jurisdictions require permits for full replacements
- Season — late spring through early fall is peak roofing season with higher prices
Roofing costs in the United States
US roofers charge $3.50–$7.00 per square foot installed for asphalt shingles, the most common material. A full replacement on a 2,000 sq ft roof typically costs $8,000–$15,000. Metal roofing runs $12,000–$25,000+. Prices are highest in the Northeast and West Coast, lowest in the South and Midwest.
After storm damage, your homeowner's insurance may cover some or all of the replacement cost minus your deductible. Always get your own independent estimate — don't rely solely on the insurance adjuster's assessment. Be cautious of storm-chasing roofing companies that appear after severe weather.
Roofing costs in Poland

Roofing costs in the Netherlands
Dutch roofing costs €50–€120 per m² depending on the material and roof type. Flat roofs (common in Dutch architecture) cost €40–€70 per m² for EPDM or bitumen. Sloped roofs with Dutch tiles cost €60–€120 per m². A typical terraced house roof replacement runs €10,000–€20,000. Row houses may benefit from dakisolatie (roof insulation) subsidies through ISDE.
For heritage properties or homes in protected areas (beschermd stadsgezicht), material choices may be restricted. Always check with your gemeente (municipality) before starting work.
How to save on roofing costs
- Schedule in the off-season — late fall and winter may bring 10–15% lower prices
- Get 3–5 quotes — roofing estimates vary more than most trades
- Choose asphalt over premium materials — modern architectural shingles last 25–30 years at half the cost of tile
- Bundle with gutters — adding gutters during a roof replacement is cheaper than a separate project
- Check insurance coverage — storm and hail damage may be covered
