Roof replacement cost by state (2026)
The national average roof replacement runs $11,000–$14,000 in 2026 for an architectural-shingle job on a typical home — but state labor rates swing that by more than 50%. The table below shows the typical range for a 1,500 sq ft home (≈1,740 sq ft of roof) in every state. Coastal and high-cost-of-living states top the chart; the South and Plains anchor the bottom.

Why states differ so much
Shingles cost roughly the same nationwide — the spread is labor, insurance, and disposal. High-wage coastal states carry crews that bill 25–40% above the Plains; hurricane and hail states (Florida, Texas, Colorado) add code requirements — sealed decks, enhanced nailing patterns, impact-rated shingles — that raise material and inspection costs; and northern states compress the roofing season into fewer months, which firms up prices. Within any state, metro areas run 10–20% above the state figure and rural areas below it, so treat these as midpoints for getting three local bids.

About these roofing calculators
Roofing is the most labor-weighted project on this site — about 55% of every bid is the crew — which makes it both the most state-sensitive and the most quote-variable trade homeowners deal with. It’s also the one where timing pays: bidding in late fall instead of post-storm spring commonly saves 5–15%. These calculators price the way roofers do — per square, with tear-off and pitch factored — so the numbers you get map directly onto the bids you’ll read. Methodology here; and whatever the number, get three itemized bids and check that decking repair is priced per-sheet, not “as needed.”
