$9,000 to $18,000
Typical 2,000 sq ft home, architectural shingle, full tear off.
Roof pricing feels opaque because most homeowners buy one or two roofs in a lifetime and have nothing to compare against. The numbers below give you that comparison set: what Georgetown replacements actually run, why, and how to spot a quote that is hiding something.
The local math
Around here, full asphalt shingle replacement generally lands between $4.50 and $7.50 per square foot of home footprint, installed, torn off, and hauled away. Footprint matters more than living space: a 2,400 sq ft two story may put less roof over your head than a sprawling 2,000 sq ft ranch.
| Home footprint | Typical range (architectural shingle) |
|---|---|
| 1,200 sq ft | $5,500 to $9,500 |
| 1,600 sq ft | $7,500 to $12,500 |
| 2,000 sq ft | $9,000 to $18,000 |
| 2,600 sq ft | $12,000 to $21,000 |
| 3,200 sq ft | $15,000 to $26,000 |
Ranges are wide on purpose. The factors below decide where in the band your house lives.
The six factors that move your quote
Pitch and complexity. A steep roof slows every task and adds safety rigging. Valleys, hips, dormers, and dead valleys add cut waste and flashing labor. Simple ranch rooflines in Serenada reroof efficiently; cut up two stories do not.
Stories and access. Second story work means more ladder time, more staging, and slower material handling. Tight lot access or landscaping that needs protecting adds hours.
Decking condition. Tear off reveals the truth. Quality quotes state a per sheet price (commonly $75 to $150 installed) instead of burying an allowance. Budget a few sheets on any roof past its second decade.
Material. Architectural shingle is the local baseline. Class 4 impact rated shingles add roughly 10 to 20 percent and may earn an insurance discount. Standing seam metal plays a different game entirely.
Ventilation. Many older Georgetown roofs are under vented, which cooks shingles from below. Correcting ridge and soffit ventilation during a reroof is cheap insurance and often required to keep the shingle warranty intact.
Season and demand. After a major hail event, the whole county wants a crew at once. If your roof can wait out the rush, quotes usually soften.
What a complete quote itemizes
Tear off and disposal, decking allowance per sheet, drip edge, underlayment by name, ice and water membrane locations, flashing scope (reuse vs replace, stated plainly), pipe boots, shingle line by name, ventilation plan, cleanup including magnetic nail sweep, workmanship warranty terms, and payment schedule. A bid missing several of these is not cheaper. It is unfinished.
Cost questions
Usually scope, not greed. One bid includes new flashing, decking allowances, and ventilation work; another quietly reuses what is up there. Line the quotes up item by item before comparing bottom lines.
Yes, roughly two to two and a half times more for standing seam. The trade is lifespan: one metal roof can outlast two shingle roofs. Our metal cost guide runs the long math.
Often somewhat. Demand drops after storm season and crews want to stay busy, which gives you scheduling leverage. Shingles seal more slowly in cold snaps, but Georgetown winters leave plenty of workable days.
