This page is here to give you a clear and honest answer.
At Monaco Roofing, we believe pricing transparency builds trust. While every roof is different, most homeowners want a realistic range, an explanation of what affects price, and clarity around financing options.
That’s exactly what you’ll find below.
For most single-family homes in the areas like Raleigh, Hillsborough, Greensboro, Durham, or other NC cities and towns, the cost to install a new asphalt shingle roof typically falls within this range:
$7,500 – $12,000 for most average-sized homes
Larger homes, complex roofs, or premium materials may range $12,000 – $20,000+
These numbers reflect professional installation, code-compliant materials, labor, and cleanup.
But there’s a lot that goes into the cost of a new roof.
Roof pricing isn’t arbitrary. Several measurable factors directly influence cost.
1. Roof Size & Pitch
More square footage means more materials and labor. Steep roofs require additional safety measures and time.
2. Roof Complexity
Multiple valleys, dormers, skylights, chimneys, or cut-up rooflines increase labor and flashing work.
3. Tear-Off vs. Overlay
Removing old shingles costs more than installing over an existing layer. But it’s usually the better long-term option.
4. Material Selection
Architectural shingles cost more than basic 3-tab shingles
Metal, tile, or specialty systems increase material and labor costs
5. Decking Repairs
If damaged plywood is discovered during tear-off, replacement may be required to meet building code.
6. Permits & Code Requirements
Local permitting, inspections, and updated building codes are part of doing the job right.
The cost of a new roof can also be lower than average. It depends…
1. Simple Roof Design
Straightforward, walkable rooflines require less labor.
2. Smaller Home Size
Less material and labor = lower overall cost.
3. Standard Materials
High-quality architectural shingles without premium upgrades keep pricing efficient.
4. Insurance Claims
Storm-related damage may qualify for partial or full insurance coverage, reducing out-of-pocket expense.
When it comes to pricing, you’ll probably get a wide range from different roofing companies.
But don’t assume the best deal is the best option.
If you’ve received a quote that seems too good to be true, it often is.
Lower prices can result from:
Using lower-grade materials
Skipping permits or inspections
Rushed or inexperienced labor crews
Minimal or no warranty coverage
Cutting corners on ventilation, flashing, or underlayment
A roof is a long-term system. Saving upfront can cost significantly more in repairs, leaks, or early replacement.
Higher pricing is often tied to:
Experienced, insured crews
Code-compliant installations
Higher-quality materials
Proper ventilation and flashing systems
Strong workmanship warranties
Thorough cleanup and project management
