Price Ranges by Material
These are the only cost figures this site uses, here and on every other page. Two are Texas-wide, one is for Weatherford and one covers the Fort Worth area.
| Cost row | Figure | Source (year) |
|---|---|---|
| Texas re-roof, average | about $8,634 (typical $6,777–$20,531) | This Old House, 2026 |
| Texas asphalt shingles, per sq ft | about $4.92 | This Old House, 2026 |
| Weatherford asphalt shingles, per sq ft | about $4–$6 | HomeBlue, 2024 |
| Texas metal roofing, per sq ft | about $9.55 | This Old House, 2026 |
| Fort Worth area metal roofing, per sq ft | about $6–$10 | HomeBlue, 2024 |
Why don't the numbers line up? Each source pictures a different sample roof, mixes in different materials and counts tear-off its own way, so read them as guideposts rather than quotes. The Texas average describes a whole roof, while the per-square-foot rows let you scale a figure to your own house.
Our calculator turns those rows into a range: $4.00 to $7.50 per square foot of roof for shingles and $7.00 to $13.00 for metal. Take a one-story home of about 2,250 square feet with a walkable pitch. Its roof works out to roughly 2,770 square feet, and shingles land between about $11,100 and $20,800. Next to a typical owned home in Weatherford, valued at $312,100 by the Census, that is one of the larger single bills a household meets.
What Adds to the Bill
Two houses with the same floor plan can get very different estimates. These are the usual reasons:
- Roof area, not floor area. Overhangs and pitch make a roof larger than the footprint underneath it, often by a tenth or more.
- Steepness. A steep slope needs more safety gear and slower work, so labor climbs.
- Old layers. Every layer that has to come off adds tear-off time and disposal.
- Decking. Rotten or soft boards only show up once the roof is off. Replacing them is a possible extra, so ask how the contract prices each sheet.
- Material grade. Class 4 shingles and standing-seam metal cost more than base-grade products.
- Details. Chimneys, skylights, valleys, vents and new gutters each add line items.
- Where the house sits. Inside Weatherford the roofer pulls a City permit, which shows up on the estimate. Parker County, Texas issues no building permits outside city limits.
Busy seasons can stretch schedules after big storms. Even so, nothing about a fair estimate should require you to sign the day you get it.
Comparing Estimates Fairly
Line up the scope, not just the totals. Check that each estimate names the same shingle or panel grade, the same underlayment, full tear-off, a per-sheet decking price, the permit for a city address, and the length of both the labor and manufacturer warranties. A low total that leaves out tear-off or decking often ends up costing more once the work begins.
Inside Weatherford, ask each company to show that it's registered with the City. The Building Division at 817-598-4284 ext. 2 can tell you what the permit covers.
Signs that an estimate needs a second look:
- One number, no breakdown. A single total with no line items gives you nothing to compare.
- An offer to cover your deductible. In Texas, a roofer offering to waive, absorb or rebate it is breaking the law, and paying it stays your responsibility.
- Sign-today pressure. If you sign a contract of $25 or more at your door, Texas generally lets you back out any time before the third business day after signing ends at midnight.
- No permit line on a city address. Inside Weatherford, a roof replacement needs one, filed by the roofer.
- No local footprint. No street address in the area and no references you can actually reach.
Insurance-Covered Replacements
When hail or wind damage is covered, your insurer pays under the terms of your policy, and the deductible comes out of your pocket by Texas law. The roofer's part is documentation: photos of what's damaged and an estimate for the work. Filing, negotiating and settling the claim are between you and your insurance company, and Texas doesn't let a contractor represent you on a claim for a house it's working on.
The April 2026 storms are why many owners are asking now. NWS Fort Worth confirmed an EF3 tornado in northeast Mineral Wells on April 28, 2026, with dozens of reports of hail up to softball size that day. The Governor's storm disaster proclamation that April listed Parker County too; even so, your roof claim runs through your own policy.
If you're choosing new materials anyway, ask your insurer whether it gives a discount for a Class 4 impact-resistant roof. Many Texas insurers do, and each one sets its own amount, so get the figure before you pick a shingle grade.
