Your roof is its own size
Enter your ZIP code. Next, we measure your roof from a satellite photo, or from your home's size, and price it from these permits.
By material
Per square (100 sq ft of roof), the middle half of permits say $900 to $1,300. The typical permit says $1,100. 1 in 10 permits say less than $720 per square. 1 in 10 say more than $1,600.
| Material | Per square | Whole roof, 18 squares | Permits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingles | $900–1,300 | $16,100–23,400 | 242 |
Other materials have fewer than 50 permits here. That's too few for a fair range, so we don't show one.
100% of these jobs tore off the old roof first.
Before you sign with a roofer
- New York requires a written home improvement contract, and you can cancel within 3 business days of signing (General Business Law, Article 36-A).
- Make sure the roofer pulls the permit.
- Get both warranties in writing: the shingle maker's, and the roofer's own for their work.
Where these numbers come from
We read the roofing permits the building departments here issued from February 2023 to September 2026 that state both the job's price and the roof's size. Price divided by squares gives the price per square. We left out repairs, patches, garages, apartment buildings and the top and bottom 2%. That leaves 426 permits. Records pulled September 30, 2026.
