Roof Replacement cost (2026)

What should a roof replacement cost in Chicago's northwest suburbs? Local bids vary with the house in front of the contractor, but published national figures give you a planning range before you call anyone. Start with the estimator, then get local quotes to see where your home lands.

The short answer: Angi puts the national average for a full roof replacement at $9,610 in 2026, with most asphalt shingle jobs between $7,500 and $14,000.

Project type

Roof area (sq ft)

Roof area is not floor area. A 2,000 sq ft two-story home often has about 1,200 to 1,400 sq ft of roof; a 1,700 sq ft ranch is closer to 1,900 sq ft of roof once pitch and overhangs count. When in doubt, start at 1,700 and adjust.

Typical range:

What moves the price

-Roof size, pitch, and complexity (hips, valleys, and dormers all add labor)
-How many old layers have to be torn off and hauled away
-Decking repairs found once the old roof is off
-Material choice, the single biggest lever in the total
