Every roof is different — pitch, access, decking condition, material choice and current material pricing all move the number. They are not a quote or an offer. For an accurate figure, book a free on-site inspection and we’ll put it in writing.
“How much will a new roof cost?” is the #1 question we get from Dallas homeowners. The honest answer: $8,000–$30,000+ depending on size, materials, pitch, and damage scope. This guide breaks down the real numbers we quote every day in Paulding and Cobb counties — so you know exactly what to expect before we even show up.
The Dallas GA Pricing Breakdown (2026)
There are four variables that drive your final cost:
- Roof size (measured in squares — 1 square = 100 sq ft).
- Material tier (3-tab to architectural to metal to slate).
- Roof pitch (steep roofs cost 20–50% more to install).
- Existing conditions (rotted deck, damaged fascia, multiple layers).
Pricing by Roof Size
Most single-family homes in Dallas fall into these ranges:
| Home Size (sq ft) | Roof Area (squares) | Architectural Shingles | Metal Roof |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,200 (small ranch) | 12 | $4,800–$6,000 | $8,400–$10,800 |
| 2,000 (average) | 20 | $8,000–$10,000 | $14,000–$18,000 |
| 3,000 (large two-story) | 30 | $12,000–$15,000 | $21,000–$27,000 |
| 4,500 (estate/new build) | 45 | $18,000–$22,500 | $31,500–$40,500 |
Pricing by Material Tier
Per-square cost (includes labor, underlayment, ice/water shield, ridge vent, cleanup):
3-Tab Shingles
$3.50–$4.50/sq
Budget option, 20–25 year lifespan, Class 1 impact rating.
Architectural Shingles
$4.00–$5.50/sq
Our recommendation (70% of installs), 25–30 year lifespan, Class 3.

Standing Seam Metal
$7.00–$12.00/sq
26-gauge minimum, 40–70 year lifespan, indestructible to hail.
Pitch Multipliers: Why Steep Roofs Cost More
Roof pitch adds complexity — steeper roofs are slower to work, require more safety gear, and use more materials:
| Low slope / flat (4:12 or less) | 1.0x |
| Medium (6:12 to 9:12) | 1.1x |
| Steep (10:12 or more) | 1.25x–1.5x |
Hidden Costs: What Contractors Don’t Always Mention
- Rotted roof deck repair — $15–$35 per sheet of 4×8 OSB that needs replacement.
- Fascia rot repair — $60–$90 per linear foot of damaged fascia board.
- Multiple layers — $1.50–$2.00/sq additional for tear-off of existing shingles.
- Permits — $150–$300 in Paulding/Cobb counties (most reputable contractors include this).
- Emergency tarping — $300–$500 if you need it before the job starts.
What Insurance Covers in Dallas (2026 Rates)
Most Dallas homeowners have a wind/hail deductible of 2% of home value. Here’s what that means:
- $300,000 home → $6,000 deductible
- $400,000 home → $8,000 deductible
- $500,000 home → $10,000 deductible
If your damage is below the deductible, the claim won’t pay off — and filing it raises your premiums for 3 years. Read our full insurance claim guide → for how to maximize your payout.
