Roof Replacement Costs: What to Expect in Palm Beach County
Educational
Replacing your roof is one of the most important investments you can make as a homeowner. At Luxe Builder Group, we know that the decision to get a new roof doesn’t come lightly—and one of the first questions we get is: What is the average cost of a roof replacement?
What Is the Average Cost of a Roof Replacement?
As of 2024, the average roof replacement cost (Click for Palm Beach County) for an asphalt shingle roof in Florida ranges between $11,200 and $17,100 for a standard 2,000 square foot home. National averages hover around $14,959, but your exact new roof cost may be higher or lower depending on your home’s square footage, roof pitches, location, roofing material, and design complexity. The average new roof cost can increase if your home has a larger roof, steep pitch, or unique architectural details.

What Affects the Cost of a New Roof?
A roof replacement isn’t one-size-fits-all. Here are some of the main factors that influence your replacement cost:
1. Roof Size (Square Footage)
The larger your roof, the more materials and labor will be required. Most roofing contractors measure roofs in “squares,” where one roofing square equals 100 square feet. The price per square foot varies based on material and installation complexity.
2. Roofing Material
The type of roofing materials you choose has a major impact on your overall cost:
Asphalt shingles and architectural asphalt shingles are affordable and widely used.
Architectural shingles offer better durability and visual appeal.
Metal roofs and corrugated metal roofing are durable and weather-resistant but can increase installation costs.
Clay tiles and concrete tiles offer longevity and aesthetic value, but they’re heavier and costlier.
Slate roof and copper roofing options are premium and among the most expensive roofing materials.
3. Roof Pitch and Design Complexity
Steeper roofs or unique layouts require more time, materials, and safety precautions, which increase labor costs.
4. Tear-Off and Disposal of Old Roof
If your old roof or existing roof needs to be removed, that adds to installation costs. In some cases, minor structural repairs or fixes to existing gutters may also be needed.
5. Underlayment and Roof Decking Repairs
Contractors may discover damage to your roof deck or roof deck underneath during removal. Replacing sections of decking and installing new underlayment adds to your actual cost.
6. Permits and Local Codes
Every roof replacement project in Palm Beach County requires a building permit. Luxe Builder Group ensures that all work complies with building codes.
Roofing Costs by Material
Here’s a general idea of roof replacement costs per square foot:
3-tab asphalt shingles: $3.50 – $5.00
Architectural shingles: $4.50 – $7.00
Metal roofing panels: $7.00 – $12.00
Standing seam metal roofs: $10.00 – $15.00
Clay or concrete tile: $12.00 – $20.00+
Material cost varies widely, and the cost of a new roof will increase depending on your choice of roofing material, roof size, and complexity.

Insurance, DIY, and Financing
