Average cost to replace a roof on a typical 1500 sq ft. house an asphalt shingles roof would cost around $3,500-4,000 give or take.
Here are the main factors that determine the cost:
- Sq. ft. of your house and the roof - that determines how much roofing materials you will need.
- Type of the roof - asphalt shingles (25 year, 30 year), slate, metal, etc.
- Roof shape - the steeper the pitch of your roof the more materials you'll need. Also the more complicated the shape the more materials and labor will be required.
- Roof condition - if the plywood under your roof is all rotten and needs to be replaced.
One thing to be aware of when getting an estimate though is to ask your contractor about all the "little" extras like flashing around the pipes and chimneys (is that included or not), rotten wood replacement (is that included into the estimate you got or not), etc. Sometimes contractors low-ball the price to get an job only to hit you with all the "unforeseen" extra costs later.

The first thing that I tell people is start scrap booking your ideas. For most people this part is easy but there are also many tougher questions you would need to answer before you can start building. One of the most important ones is do you already have the land you will be building on. Often times when you do, it determines certain features and characteristics of the house you can build. If you don't have a specific lot that you'll be building on you may have more flexibility, but it may also take a little more time to find the right location and the right piece of land.
We can help you with both scenarios and can even help you to find the right lot, as we work with many real estate companies and land owners in the area. Contact us for a free consultation for your custom home >>

If you are selling your home remember this. The two biggest factors to buyers are your homes curb appeal and its kitchen. This means that they are the most crucial to your homes value. If you are putting your home on the market I would suggest focusing on your curb appeal. If people see your house and keep driving they are never going to see your beautiful kitchen.
