HomeGuide (November 2025) puts a reroof at $5,000 to $10,100 on a 1,500 square foot house, $6,700 to $13,400 on 2,000, and $8,500 to $16,800 on 2,500. Those are national figures for a one-story home. Your roof area, not your floor area, sets the real price, so every Coastline job is quoted after a free inspection.
House size is the first number most people know, and it's a rough guide at best. A one-story and a two-story home with the same living space can need very different amounts of roof. Here are the published numbers, and how to tell which ones fit your house.
HomeGuide's table assumes a one-story home with a 6:12 pitch, so its 2,000 square foot house has a 2,235 square foot roof.
| House size | Roof size | Average cost to reroof | At Fixr's Florida shingle rate* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,500 sq ft | 1,675 sq ft | $5,000 to $10,100 | About $7,500 to $16,750 |
| 2,000 sq ft | 2,235 sq ft | $6,700 to $13,400 | About $10,050 to $22,350 |
| 2,500 sq ft | 2,795 sq ft | $8,500 to $16,800 | About $12,600 to $27,950 |
*Our arithmetic, not a published total: HomeGuide's roof size times Fixr's Florida figure of $4.50 to $10 per square foot for asphalt shingles (January 2025). We show it because the Florida per square foot figure runs well above the national ones.
Angi's national table (October 2026) goes by roof size and runs higher than HomeGuide's: $9,700 to $24,600 for a 2,235 square foot roof, across roofing materials.
Every dollar figure here comes from a published cost guide, not from us. We quote every job individually, in writing, after a free roof inspection.

It has more roof. The same living space spread over one floor needs a roof over all of it.
| House size | Stories | Roof area | Average cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,500 sq ft | One | 1,874 sq ft | $10,882 |
| 1,500 sq ft | Two | 973 sq ft | $5,650 |
| 2,000 sq ft | One | 2,469 sq ft | $14,337 |
| 2,000 sq ft | Two | 1,273 sq ft | $7,392 |
| 2,500 sq ft | One | 3,064 sq ft | $17,792 |
| 2,500 sq ft | Two | 1,573 sq ft | $9,134 |
This Old House's roof areas differ from HomeGuide's because each guide makes its own assumptions. The takeaway is the same: on these numbers, one story needs nearly twice the roof of two.
That doesn't mean every two-story job is cheap. HomeGuide says multiple stories can increase the cost, and a high roof takes more care to work on.
Start with the footprint of the house, including the garage and covered areas under the roofline, then adjust for pitch.
| Pitch | Multiply footprint by |
|---|---|
| 4:12 | 1.054 |
| 6:12 | 1.118 |
| 7:12 | 1.158 |
| 9:12 | 1.250 |
Those multipliers are plain geometry. Overhangs, dormers and valleys add more, so treat your result as a starting point. A roofer's measurement decides the material order and the price. Divide the square feet by 100 to get roofing squares, the unit most quotes use.
"I was worried at first that it would take weeks to complete, but it only took 3 days for a 3,800 sqft roof. ... Our home is a high two-story peak roof and these men did a fantastic safe job. Not one nail hit the lawn. ... My family is so pleased."Faith E.Roofing customer, Florida Gulf Coast
"From beginning to end the roof was done in 2 days. One night the crew stayed until 8:00. Each evening before leaving the crew ensured the yard was cleaned. We are so happy, and our roof is beautiful!"Sharon T.Roof replacement, Florida Gulf Coast
"Russell was great to work with. He was prompt in coming out to assess our roof and very knowledgeable. ... The job was complete in 2 days once work began."Bryan S.Roof replacement, Manatee County
HomeGuide's national range is $6,700 to $13,400 for a one-story home. This Old House puts the average at $9,476 across home designs and materials, with a range of $7,283 to $24,121. Florida figures can run higher, and your own roof decides it.
Same-size houses can have different pitches, stories, penetrations and deck condition, and different materials on the quote. Ask each roofer for the measured roof area so you can compare.
