Shingle Roof Cost, Lifespan, and Replacement

Shingle roof replacement cost in Utah typically ranges from about $8,000 to $15,000 for an average 2,000 square foot home, depending on the shingle type (three-tab vs. architectural), roof pitch and complexity, and tear-off and disposal. Asphalt shingle roof replacement is one of the most common projects we do—we remove the old shingles, inspect and repair decking as needed, install underlayment and drip edge, then install the new shingles with proper flashing at vents, chimneys, and walls. We give you a written estimate so you know the cost up front.

How long does a shingle roof last? Lifespan depends on material quality, ventilation, and installation.
