How Much Does a New Roof Cost? (Using CertainTeed Asphalt Shingles)
One of the most common questions homeowners ask is how much it costs to replace a roof. Roofing costs are typically calculated using squares, which measure 100 square feet of roof area.
For asphalt shingles, the total price includes materials, labor, tear-off, and installation of the full roofing system.
Average Cost Per Square
For CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles, the installed price typically ranges from about $415 to $615 per square, depending on shingle type and roof complexity.
This means most residential roofing projects fall into predictable ranges.
Example Roof Cost by Size
Small home (1,200 sq ft roof) 12 squares $5,000 – $7,380
Average home (2,000 sq ft roof) 20 squares $8,500 – $12,300
Larger home (3,000 sq ft roof) 30 squares $12,000 – $18,450
Actual pricing varies depending on:
Roof pitch and complexity
Number of valleys and dormers
Ventilation upgrades
Roof deck repairs
Shingle selection
