Every roofing question, answered.

It costs $8k–$30k to replace a roof in the US. Size, materials, region, and scope drive the spread; expect the midpoint to land near $19k for a typical job.

The national average to replace a roof is about $19k. Half of homeowners pay between $8k and $30k depending on scope, materials, and region.

Small jobs run roughly $8k; mid-size jobs land near $19k; large or premium scope can exceed $30k. Size, finish level, and labor rate are the three biggest cost levers.

For a small home, expect to pay near the low end - roughly $8k–$10.4k. Less square footage, fewer fixtures, and simpler access all cut labor hours.

For a large home, costs typically run $24k–$30k or more. Larger areas mean more materials, more labor hours, and often premium finishes that bump the per-unit cost.

The cheapest roof options start near $8k. Save by choosing builder-grade materials, keeping the existing layout, and bundling the work in the shoulder season.
