What Does a New Roof Cost in Milwaukee?
Let's be direct: most Milwaukee roof replacements cost between $8,000 and $25,000. That's a wide range because every roof is different. Here's what actually determines the price.
A typical Milwaukee single-family home (1,500-2,000 square feet) with asphalt shingles costs $10,000-$15,000. That includes tear-off of one layer, quality architectural shingles, ice and water shield, proper ventilation, and our 10-year workmanship warranty.

What Affects Your Roof Replacement Cost?
1. Roof Size
Roofing is priced per "square" (100 square feet). A typical Milwaukee home has 15-25 squares. Larger roof = higher cost, obviously. But pitch matters more than you'd think.
2. Roof Pitch (Steepness)
Steep roofs are more dangerous and slower to work on. A 12/12 pitch roof costs 30-40% more than a 4/12 pitch roof of the same size. Safety equipment and slower installation add cost.
3. Material Choice
Basic 3-tab shingles: $90-$120 per square installed. Architectural shingles: $120-$180 per square. Premium designer shingles: $180-$300 per square. Metal roofing: $300-$600 per square.
4. Layers to Remove
Removing one layer adds $1-$2 per square foot. Removing two layers (yes, some Milwaukee homes have this) adds $2-$3 per square foot. Disposal costs money.
5. Complexity & Details
Multiple chimneys, skylights, valleys, dormers, and complex angles add labor time. Each penetration needs proper flashing. More details = more time = higher cost.
6. Structural Repairs
Rotten decking, damaged trusses, or inadequate ventilation needs fixing before we roof it. We find this during tear-off. Structural work adds $500-$3,000+ depending on extent.
