A new roof in Houston typically costs $9,000–$21,000 for a standard 2,000 sq ft home — about $4.50–$8.00 per square foot installed for architectural shingles, the material about 80% of our customers choose. Metal runs higher: standing seam steel is roughly $24,000–$32,000 and aluminum $32,000–$44,000. Your final price depends on roof size, material, pitch and complexity, and your contractor.

What Drives Roof Cost in Houston
Three things determine what you'll pay: size, material, and complexity. A simple 1,500 sq ft ranch with architectural shingles runs $8,000–$12,000; a 3,000 sq ft two-story with multiple valleys, dormers, and a steep pitch can reach $18,000–$25,000 with the same shingles. Material opens the range further — standing seam metal costs roughly 2.5× asphalt, but a $26,000 metal roof that lasts 50 years can cost less per year than a $10,000 shingle roof that lasts 20.
