How much does a new roof cost in North Texas?
Most single-family asphalt shingle roof replacements around Burleson and Fort Worth cost roughly $10,000 to $25,000 in 2026. The size and pitch of the roof and the shingle you choose make up most of the difference. A metal roof usually costs two to three times as much as an architectural shingle roof. An exact price requires an inspection, because the size and complexity of your roof cannot be measured from your address.
How roofs are priced
Roofing is priced by the square. One square is 100 square feet of roof surface. Because a roof is pitched, a 2,000 square foot single-story home usually has around 25 to 30 squares of roof, more than the floor area suggests.
A two-story home of the same size has a smaller roof, but it can cost more per square because the work is higher off the ground.
What affects the cost of a new roof
Roof size is the biggest factor. Pitch comes next: a steeper roof has more surface, and a roof steeper than about 7:12 needs extra safety equipment and takes longer to install.
The shape of the roof also matters. Valleys, dormers, skylights, chimneys and vents all add labor and materials.
Material is the other major factor. Architectural asphalt shingles are the most common choice. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles cost somewhat more. Metal roofs cost significantly more, with standing seam at the top of the range.
Decking and other items in your estimate
The wood decking under your shingles cannot be fully checked until the old roof is removed. It is a good idea to ask how replacement decking will be priced before the work begins.
When comparing estimates, look at what each one includes, such as new flashing and pipe boots and whether the old roof will be torn off.
What if insurance is paying for the roof?
If your roof was damaged by a storm and you have an approved insurance claim, your insurance company sets the value of the work based on the damage and the age of your roof. Your cost is usually your deductible plus anything the settlement does not cover.
