Understanding Roofing: Materials and Techniques

How Much Does Roofing Cost in the U.S.?

If you're budgeting for roofing work, here’s what you can expect at the lower end:

Minor repairs, like sealing a small leak or fixing a few shingles, can start as low as $150 to $400.

Moderate repairs, like partial shingle replacements or flashing fixes, generally range from $400 to $1,200.

For a full roof replacement on a smaller home using basic asphalt shingles, you're likely looking at around $4,000 to $6,500.

Many companies offer flexible payment plans, and if your roof damage is storm-related, insurance might cover part (or all) of the cost. Some pros even waive inspection fees if you move forward with the job.
