Roof replacement cost by state (2026)
Where you live can swing a roof price by 40% or more. Here's how regional costs compare.
Roofing is priced per "square" (100 square feet of roof area), and the per-square rate swings widely depending on where you live. Labor, material availability, building code, and climate all feed into it.
Nationwide in 2025–2026, typical installed ranges per square look like this:
| Material | Installed cost per square |
|---|---|
| Asphalt 3-tab | $350–$500 |
| Asphalt architectural | $450–$750 |
| Class 4 impact-resistant | $550–$900 |
| Standing-seam metal | $900–$1,600 |
| Concrete tile | $1,000–$1,400 |
| Natural slate | $1,500–$3,000 |
Regional factors can push a price well above or below those ranges. Hawaii runs about +45% over the national baseline, Alaska about +40%, California about +25%, New York about +22%, and Massachusetts about +18%. Colorado sits about +5% above baseline. Texas, Florida, and Arizona run close to the national average. Georgia, North Carolina, and Michigan run about −5%, while Ohio and Tennessee run about −8%.
Within any state, high-cost metros and complex or steep roofs push you toward the top of the range; simpler, walkable roofs in lower-cost areas sit near the bottom.
