If you’re researching new roofs, you’re probably asking one simple question...

“How much will a new roof cost me?”

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.


How Much Does a New Roof Cost in NC?

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:

Typical Price 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.


What Drives Roofing Costs Up or Down?

Roof pricing isn’t arbitrary. Several measurable factors directly influence cost.

Factors That Increase Roof 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…


Factors That Can Lower Roof Cost

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.


Why Some Roofing Companies Are Cheaper

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.


Why Some Roofing Companies Cost More

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

At Monaco Roofing, our pricing reflects doing the job right the first time (with no surprises).

We do things a little differently.

We don’t believe in vague numbers or pressure tactics.

When we provide a quote, it’s based on:

Your specific roof measurements

Material choices explained upfront

Labor and installation scope clearly defined

Any required permits or repairs disclosed

No hidden fees or last-minute surprises.

But if you’re thinking: This is still too expensive, don’t worry.

We’ve thought of this, too.


Financing Options Available

A new roof is a major investment. But it doesn’t have to be a financial burden.

We offer flexible financing options for qualified homeowners, including:

Low monthly payment plans

Competitive interest rates

Options that allow you to protect your home now and pay over time

Financing details are discussed during your consultation so you can choose what works best for your budget.
