ELITE ROOFING: Roofing Contractor

What is the Average Cost of a New Roof?

National averages for a new roof range from $7,000-$30,000. However, this can change depending on the material chosen for the roof, the size of the roof, and the system being installed, the pitch, multiple stories, etc. In Texas, roof costs can range a little higher due to factors such as humidity, hurricane readiness, and the type of shingles recommended to combat heavy rain, wind, humidity, and extreme heat.

Costs & Lifespan

Asphalt vs Metal vs Tile

Asphalt Shingle Roofing

Average Cost: $3 – $8 per square Lifespan: 15 – 30 years

Asphalt shingles are the most common residential roofing material because they’re affordable, widely available, and relatively quick to install.

There are two main types:

3-Tab Shingles: Lower upfront cost, with a shorter lifespan
Architectural Shingles: Higher durability, curb appeal, and longer lifespan

Best for: Homeowners looking for the most budget-friendly option with solid performance.

Metal Roofing

Average Cost: $7 – $14 per square Lifespan: 40 – 70 years

Metal roofing costs more upfront due to higher material prices and specialized installation. However, it offers exceptional durability, energy efficiency, and long-term performance.

Why it costs more:

Custom trim and flashing
Skilled Installation
Higher material costs

Best for: Homeowners planning to stay long-term and looking for durability and energy savings.

Tile Roofing (Clay or Concrete)

Average Cost: $10 – $25 per square Lifespan: 50+ years

Tile roofing provides a distinctive, high-end appearance and long lifespan. However, it is significantly heavier than other materials and may require structural reinforcement, increasing total project cost.

Cost factors include:

Material weight
Slower Installation Process
Possible Framing Upgrades

Best for: Homes designed for tile aesthetics and long-term investment.
