The most common question we get is also the hardest to answer over the phone: what does a new roof cost? For a typical single-family home in Nebraska and the surrounding Plains, a full architectural shingle replacement runs roughly $9,000 to $22,000. Where your roof lands in that range comes down to a handful of factors.
What drives the price
- Roof size, measured in squares (100 square feet each). Bigger roof, more material and labor.
- Pitch and complexity. Steep roofs and roofs with many valleys, dormers, and penetrations cost more to install safely.
- Tear-off layers. Removing two layers of old shingles costs more than one.
- Decking condition. Rotten or storm-damaged decking has to be replaced, which is why we state a per-sheet allowance up front.
- Shingle line. Standard architectural, impact-resistant Class 4, and designer shingles step up in price.
Where the ranges fall
A standard architectural shingle roof on an average home sits in the middle of that range. Impact-resistant shingles add a bit; see are impact-resistant shingles worth it. Standing-seam metal runs higher, from $14,000 to $40,000, but lasts far longer; the full comparison is in asphalt vs metal roofing.
How insurance changes the math
If hail or wind caused the damage, the calculation changes entirely. A covered claim usually means you pay your deductible and your insurer covers the approved scope. We document the damage and meet your adjuster on the roof so the claim reflects the full cost of the rebuild. See insurance claims help and our guide to filing a roof insurance claim.
Financing and getting a real number
For replacements that are not covered by insurance, we offer financing so the cost can be spread over time rather than paid all at once. Either way, the only way to get an accurate number is an inspection: roof size, pitch, and decking condition vary too much for a phone quote. We give you a written, itemized estimate after a free roof inspection.
