How Much Does a New Roof Cost in Texas?

The cost of a new roof in Texas will depend on the size of the home, the type of materials used, the pitch of the roof and other factors.

According to Remodeling’s 2021 Cost Versus Value Report, a roof replacement using asphalt shingles costs an average of $28,256 in the greater Austin area. Here’s a closer look at some of what goes into that price tag:

• Size – While you might think your roof is the same size as your home, it’s not. Roofers calculate your home’s “roofing square” to gain an accurate measurement of your roof. Larger roofs cost more. 
• Pitch – Steep roofs pose safety challenges, and they generally take longer to install. Steeper roofs also contain more surface area, which also increases the cost.
• Type – Flat roofs are more straightforward to install and cost less than other roof types such as gable, hip and mansard. 
• Materials – Shingles come in various forms with the most common being asphalt shingles. They are affordable, durable and come in numerous colors, yet also account for a significant portion of your overall roof replacement cost. 
• Labor costs – More complex roofs or homes with multiple roof layers require more time, effort and other costs involved in the project. These are all variables that will add to the price of a new roof.

A new roof is a big investment – and one you want done correctly. Look for a credentialed roofing company who is licensed and insured and who can back up their work with a craftsmanship warranty.
