Roof Replacement Costs: What to Expect in 2026

A new roof is one of the most critical upgrades for protecting your home. But how much should you expect to pay?

Material Matters

The type of roofing material you choose is the biggest variable in the total cost:

• Asphalt Shingles: The most common and affordable option.
• Metal Roofing: Durable and energy-efficient, but comes with a higher initial price point.
• Tile or Slate: Premium materials that offer extreme longevity and a distinct aesthetic.

Hidden Costs to Watch Out For
