Shingle roof replacement cost for a 2,200 sq ft home

A full shingle roof replacement on a 2200 sq ft home in Austin averages between $11,000 to $22,000, or roughly $5 to $10 per square foot of roof surface. Standard architectural shingles fall in the middle of this range. Premium designer shingles, steep pitches, and multi-layer tear-offs push pricing higher.

Roofers price jobs by roofing square (a 10×10 area, or 100 sq ft). A 2200 sq ft home typically has 22 to 30 roofing squares once pitch and overhangs are factored in. In Austin, asphalt shingle installation runs $450 to $700 per square installed. Three-tab shingles sit at the low end. Architectural shingles average $550 per square. Impact-resistant Class 4 shingles cost $650 to $800 per square.

A complete replacement price covers tear-off of old shingles, dump fees, new underlayment, drip edge, ice and water shield in valleys, ridge venting, flashing replacement, new shingles, labor, and final cleanup. Reputable Austin contractors also include a workmanship warranty and manufacturer registration.

Shingle grade is the biggest cost factor. Architectural shingles last 25 to 30 years and cost more than basic three-tab options. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles often earn insurance discounts in hail-prone Austin neighborhoods, offsetting their higher upfront cost. Roof pitch also matters significantly, with steeper angles requiring additional safety equipment and labor.

Asphalt remains the default for cost-conscious homeowners. Standard architectural asphalt on a 2200 sq ft home runs $13,000 to $17,000. Synthetic slate or designer shingles can push totals to $25,000 or more, while metal roofing reaches $30,000 to $45,000 at the same square footage.

Most roof replacements finish in 1 to 3 days, depending on weather, crew size, roof complexity, and whether decking repairs are needed during tear-off. The City of Austin requires a roofing permit for full replacements, which licensed contractors typically pull as part of the job.
