How much does a new roof cost in 2026?

A typical 2,000 sq ft roof with architectural shingles runs about $10,200 to $16,500 at national average prices. Your region, roof pitch, height and material move that number up or down.

How much does a roof cost per square foot?

Installed prices run about $4 to $6 per sq ft for 3-tab shingles, $5 to $8 for architectural shingles, $10 to $18 for standing-seam metal and $15 to $30 for natural slate, before regional adjustment.

What is a roofing square?

One square equals 100 sq ft of roof surface. Roofers price jobs by the square. A 2,000 sq ft roof is 20 squares before waste.

Why does my state change the price?

Labor, permits and material delivery cost more in some regions. We adjust every estimate with regional factors from the 2025 Cost vs Value report.

Does a steep roof cost more?

Yes. A steeper roof has more surface for the same footprint and needs extra safety gear. Labor goes up 20% from 7/12 pitch and 40% from 10/12, which adds about 7% to 14% to the whole job.

Is it cheaper to put new shingles over old ones?

An overlay skips tear-off, but many codes allow only two layers and many roofers advise against it. We price a full tear-off, and add cost for each extra layer removed.
