What Does It Cost To Re-Roof a 2,000 sq. ft. House in Conroe, TX
The Estimated Cost
- On average in SoutheastTexas, a standard asphalt shingle roof replacement runs about $11,000 to $14,000 for a 2,000 sq ft home.
- If higher-end materials or more complexity (steep pitch, many features, higher wind-rating) come into play, you might see $15,000 to $20,000+ in the Conroe/Houston region.
- For premium materials (metal, tile) or roofs with additional complications, costs could jump further (e.g., metal $15,000–$30,000+).
Other Factors That Affect Cost
- Roof size vs home size: A 2,000 sq ft home typically has more roof area (including overhangs, hips, valleys) than just 2,000 sq ft of roof surface.
- Material choice: Basic asphalt shingle is lowest cost. Architectural shingles, metal, tile will typically cost more.
- Roof pitch & complexity: Steep roofs, multiple dormers, chimneys, skylights will raise both labor and material cost.
- Tear-off vs overlay: For older roofs, removing old roofing layers adds cost (for disposal, labor).
- Conditions/locale: In the Conroe/Houston/SE Texas area you’ll face wind/rain/hurricane zone factors which can add cost (higher-wind rated materials, code compliance).
- Additional repairs: If the decking is damaged, flashing needs replacement, or ventilation is inadequate, costs go up.
- Access and logistics: If the home is two-story, tight lot, or difficult to access, that may increase labor time.
Rough Estimate for Your Case
Assuming a fairly standard one-story or moderate two-story house, average roof pitch, asphalt shingles:
- Low end: ~$10,000–$12,000
- Mid range: ~$13,000–$15,000
- Higher end (premium materials or more complexity): $16,000–$20,000+
If you go with metal or tile, expect at least ~$15,000–$30,000 depending on material and structure.
