Shingle costs, explained

How Much Does a Shingle Roof Cost in Florida?

Fixr's Florida cost data (updated January 2025) puts asphalt shingles at $4.50 to $10 per square foot. HomeGuide (November 2025) puts an average new roof in Florida at $5,400 to $15,200. Roof size, shingle type, tear-off and deck repairs set the real price, so every Coastline job is quoted after a free inspection.

Shingles are the lowest-cost roof most Florida homeowners will price, and the guides still disagree by thousands of dollars. Below are the published numbers, who publishes them and when, and the lines on a quote that move your total.

Fixr's page labels some of its totals both Florida and national, so we quote only its Florida per square foot table here. We couldn't find a published shingle figure for a single Florida city that we could open and check.

About a dollar more per square foot on HomeGuide's numbers: $3 to $5 installed for 3-tab and $4 to $6 for architectural.

HomeGuide says architectural shingles are thicker and last longer than 3-tab. Our default install is Atlas Pinnacle Pristine, an architectural shingle. For how the types hold up here, read what the best shingles are for a Florida roof.

What moves the price

What makes a shingle roof cost more or less?

Size first, then everything under and around the shingles.

  • Roof size. Your roof is bigger than your floor plan. See roof cost by house size.
  • Pitch. HomeGuide says slopes steeper than 6:12 need extra safety steps and more labor.
  • Tear-off. HomeGuide puts shingle removal at $1 to $3 per square foot. Fixr says about $1.
  • Rotten wood underneath. HomeGuide puts roof decking at $2 to $5 per square foot installed. Nobody can count bad boards until the old roof is off, so ask how they will be priced. See how to tell if your deck is damaged.
  • Roof penetrations. HomeGuide puts roof vent installation at $200 to $700. Skylights, attic fans and chimneys add flashing work too.
  • Permit. Fixr's Florida page says $400 to $1,000, depending on location. HomeGuide says $100 to $500.
  • Florida's roof rules. Florida Statute 553.844 directs the building code to require certain wind steps during a roof replacement on a site-built home, including the secondary water barrier. Those steps should be on your quote.
