The roof is one of the most vital parts of any home. The average national cost for installing a new roof is $15,600, with most homeowners spending between $9,600 and $24,000. The final price depends on height and pitch of the roof, home size, roof surface size, roofing material, and geographic location. Generally, the cost breaks down to 40% for materials and 60% for labor. Read on to learn all the factors involved in installing a new roof—or replacing an old one.

Cost of Metal Roofs vs. Shingles
Metal roofing costs between $6.40 to $16 per square foot installed vs. an asphalt shingle roof which costs between $4.50 and $9 per square foot installed. Compared to an asphalt roof on a 1,200 square foot single-story home costing $4,500 to 8,800, metal roofs cost $8,700 to $19,500+.
Many homeowners would instead install metal roofs that look like shingles for a more residential look. Other than metal roof cost lying at 2 to 3 times to cost of asphalt shingles, metal roofs are an infinitely better investment because of their long life and low maintenance. Most metal shingles are made of galvanized steel or aluminum, but some companies offer copper and zinc shingles too.

Aluminum Roof Cost per Square Foot
Like other roofing, aluminum is often priced and sold by the square – or 100 sq. ft. It can also be priced by square foot to make it easier for homeowners to determine their average costs. Aluminum roofing costs between $6 and $16 an sq.ft. for aluminum roof material and $7.50 to $22 an sq. ft. installed. Interlocking shingles are the least expensive materials, while insulated panels are the most expensive. The aluminum thickness and the roof shape and type influence your final costs. Below are the average costs to install an aluminum roof of verious sizes.
| Size | Average Cost (Installed) |
|---|---|
| 1,000 sq.ft. | $6,900 – $31,000 |
| 1,200 sq.ft. | $8,300 – $27,200 |
| 1,350 sq.ft. | $9,775 – $30,350 |
| 1,500 sq.ft. | $10,750 – $33,500 |
| 2,000 sq.ft. | $15,000 – $45,000 |
| 2,200 sq.ft. | $15,300 – $48,200 |
| 3,750 sq.ft. | $25,374 – $80,750 |
| 4,500 sq.ft. | $30,250 – $98,500 |
Roof Framing Cost by Material
The average cost of roof framing material varies. Most people spend $5 to $7 per board foot on wood and $9 to $11 per board foot on steel framing. The majority of roofing types are framed using wood trusses, with a few using woods with steel bracing. However, it is also possible to build larger roofs using steel framing materials. Steel framing provides more stability for longer runs and taller roofs. In a more basic roofing job, wood framing can get the job done for about half the cost of the project. In the table and subsections below, we’ll go over both types of materials, their average costs, what each is best for, and other factors.

Upload Your PlanHow To Estimate Roofing Shingles
1. Find the square footage of the roof
Measure the length and width of each portion of the roof, multiply length by width for each plane, and then add the planes together for the total square footage.
2. Determine the total number of squares
Divide the total footage by 100 to determine the number of “squares” in the roof.
3. Determine the bundles of shingles needed to cover the roof
It takes 3 bundles to cover a square if you use 3-tab shingles, the most common type.
4. Account for waste
Add 10% to the shingle estimate to account for waste.

Upload Your PlanMetal Roof Cost per Square Foot
The average cost of installing a metal roof cost ranges from $4.5 to $43 per sq.ft. installed. While most roofs are sold and installed by the square – 100 square feet – your installer may give you a square-foot cost. Many materials can create a metal roof. Several styles are available, depending on the metal, which may impact costs. The total cost depends on the roof size and metal. Larger roofs and more complex roofs cost more than smaller and simpler roofs. Your roof size and home’s square footage are not necessarily linked. Larger homes often have larger roofs, but pitch and shape can dramatically change the roof size. Below are the average costs for installing a metal roof based on the roof’s square footage.
| Roof Sizes | Cost (Installed) |
|---|---|
| 1,000 sq.ft. | $4,500 – $43,000 |
| 1,200 sq.ft. | $5,200 – $53,000 |
| 1,350 sq.ft. | $5,800 – $57,000 |
| 1,500 sq.ft. | $6,500 – $63,000 |
| 2,000 sq.ft. | $8,500 – $83,000 |
| 2,200 sq.ft. | $9,200 – $90,000 |
| 3,750 sq.ft. | $17,000 – $170,000 |
| 4,500 sq.ft. | $19,000 – $200,000 |
