The cost of a shingle roof for a 1500 square foot house depends on whether you mean 1500 square feet of footprint or 1500 square feet of roof area, but assuming a typical 1500 square foot ranch or two-story home, the roof area is usually 1,600 to 1,900 square feet due to pitch and overhangs, which is 16 to 19 squares. For a complete tear-off and replacement with standard architectural asphalt shingles, total cost including materials, labor, underlayment, flashing, and disposal typically ranges from 7,500 to 15,000 dollars for a single-story home with easy access and moderate pitch. For a more complex roof with steep pitch, multiple valleys, dormers, or two stories, costs rise to 12,000 to 20,000 dollars. Economy 3-tab shingles would be slightly cheaper at 6,000 to 10,000 dollars, while premium designer shingles or Class 4 impact resistant shingles like Atlas Pinnacle Pristine or GAF Timberline ArmorShield would cost 12,000 to 22,000 dollars. These estimates include tear-off, synthetic underlayment, ice and water shield in valleys, new flashing, and ridge cap. Additional costs may include replacing rotted decking at 50 to 75 dollars per sheet, upgrading ventilation, and permits. Labor rates vary significantly by region, with higher costs in coastal and urban areas. Always get three written estimates.
