One of the most common questions we hear is "How much will a new roof cost?" The honest answer: it depends. But we can give you real ranges based on hundreds of projects we've completed across Rhode Island.
Average Costs in Rhode Island
For a typical 1,500–2,000 sq ft home with a standard gable roof:
These ranges include full tear-off, new underlayment, flashing, drip edge, ridge vent, and cleanup.
What Affects the Price?
Roof Size
This is the biggest factor. Roofing is priced per "square" (100 sq ft). More squares = higher cost.
Pitch (Steepness)
Steeper roofs require more safety equipment, take longer, and use more material. A 12/12 pitch costs significantly more than a 4/12.
Layers to Remove
If your existing roof has multiple layers, the tear-off cost increases. Rhode Island code allows a maximum of two layers.
Complexity
Dormers, valleys, skylights, chimneys, and multiple roof planes all add complexity and cost.
Material Choice
As shown above, material selection is a major cost driver. We always recommend architectural shingles as the best value.
Decking Repairs
Once the old roof is removed, damaged plywood decking must be replaced. This is an additional cost that can't be determined until tear-off.
Financing Options
We offer $0 money down financing to qualified homeowners. This makes a quality roof accessible without draining your savings.
