A new roof costs a national average starting at $35,701 for asphalt shingles or $56,282 for metal roofing, with final price depending on roof size, material selection, and complexity factors.

A new roof costs a national average starting at $35,701 for asphalt shingles or $56,282 for metal roofing, with final price depending on roof size, material selection, and complexity factors.

Salem homeowners comparing options should consider both upfront costs and long-term value when choosing energy saving roof shingles versus standard options.

Here’s what determines your roof replacement cost:

  • Roof Size — Roofing is priced per “square” (100 sq ft). Average homes have 20-30 squares. Larger roofs cost proportionally more for both materials and labor.
  • Material Choice — Architectural asphalt shingles balance cost and durability. Metal roofing costs 60% more upfront but lasts twice as long.
  • Pitch and Complexity — Steep roofs require safety equipment and slow installation. Multiple dormers, valleys, and penetrations add labor time. Simple ranch-style roofs cost less than complex colonial designs.
  • Shingle Color Selection — The most popular roof shingle color choices don’t affect base pricing, but specialty colors or designer collections can carry additional costs. Multiple existing layers require full removal and proper disposal, increasing costs significantly.
  • Underlayment and Ventilation — Proper ice and water shield, synthetic underlayment, and ridge ventilation add to material costs but prevent roof fungus and extend shingle life dramatically.

Roof Replacement Cost Overview

Best Overall: Architectural asphalt shingles with GAF warranty coverage for the optimal balance of cost, appearance, and longevity.

Longest Lasting: Metal roofing for homeowners planning to stay 20+ years.

Top Energy Saver: Cool roof shingles that reflect heat and reduce summer cooling costs.
