An asphalt shingle roof replacement in Texas costs $4.95 to $9.00 per square foot of roof area installed, or about $17,600 to $28,800 on a typical 2,000-square-foot home. 3-tab sits at the low end, architectural is the standard, and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles run higher. Your roof size, pitch, and grade decide where you land, and a full tear-off, underlayment, flashing, and permit are included.

You want a real number before you go any further, so here it is.

Here is the price by grade, so you can see where each one sits before anyone climbs your roof:

Pricing reflects ARP's current Texas pricing, updated September 2026. Ranges are per square foot of actual roof area, the surface the crew installs, not your living-space square footage. Roof area runs larger than your home's size, so estimate off the installed totals below, not your house's square footage times the per-foot rate.

Most homeowners think in house size, so here is what an architectural shingle replacement runs by home on a typical Texas roof:

Your market moves these too. Austin and the Texas Hill Country run a bit higher than the base, and Victoria a few points above it. Your free inspection pins the number to your address. For the full grade-by-grade breakdown and where Class 4 pays off, see the shingle roof cost page.

Replace the roof when wear covers the whole surface: granule loss on every slope, widespread curling or cracking, bald spots, or soft decking underneath. Repair it when the damage is isolated: a few shingles off after a wind gust, one flashing detail leaking, a single valley. Age matters too. Past 15 years, spending on a big repair usually just delays a replacement you will pay for anyway.

Not every failing shingle roof needs a full replacement, and the honest answer saves some homeowners thousands.

These signs point to replacement rather than another patch:

• Granule loss across every slope. When the gutters fill with granules and the shingles look bald in the field, the protective layer is spent roof-wide, not in one spot.
• Curling, cupping, or cracking everywhere. Isolated damage is a repair. The same wear on all four slopes is a roof at the end of its service life.
• Repeat leaks in different places. One leak is a repair. Leaks that keep showing up somewhere new mean the system is failing, not a single detail.
• Soft or spongy decking. If the deck gives underfoot, water has already been getting in. That is a tear-off and deck conversation, not a shingle swap.
• The roof is past 15 years. A major repair on an old roof is money spent to delay the inevitable. Run the repair cost against the replacement and the math usually decides it for you.

If your damage is isolated and the roof is otherwise sound, a repair is the smarter spend, and we will tell you so. Our repair-vs-replace walkthrough lays out the threshold in detail.

If you are replacing the roof, the next question is which shingle. Here is how the three most common grades compare for a Texas home.

Architectural shingles are what most Texas homes get replaced with, and for good reason: they are thicker, last longer than 3-tab, and cost only a little more. For most homeowners, that is the sensible default.

The upgrade worth weighing is Class 4 impact-resistant. They run about $1.50 to $3.00 more per square foot than architectural, but they carry a UL 2218 Class 4 rating and qualify for an insurance premium discount with most Texas carriers on the hail-and-wind portion of your policy. In hail country, that yearly credit frequently offsets the upcharge within a few years. The Class 4 shingles ARP installs are Atlas Pinnacle Impact and GAF Timberline UHDZ with UltraMat. Ask your carrier what they credit, and see our Class 4 impact-resistant shingle guide for the full breakdown.

You can sometimes lay new shingles over one old layer, but you usually should not. An overlay hides the decking, so nobody inspects for rot or fixes bad flashing, and the trapped heat shortens the life of the new shingles. It saves a little on tear-off up front and costs you more when the covered-up problem surfaces. ARP replaces shingle roofs with a full tear-off so the deck gets seen and the job carries a real warranty.

It is the most tempting shortcut in roofing, and in almost every case the honest answer is no.

A recover skips the tear-off, so it skips the one part that protects you: seeing the deck. Old flashing stays in place, existing leaks get sealed under a new layer instead of fixed, and two layers of shingle trap more heat and age faster in the Texas sun. Most manufacturers also limit or void the warranty on an overlay. The small up-front savings is real, but it buys you a roof nobody looked underneath, which is exactly the roof that surprises you in year four. We tear off to the deck, inspect what we find, and put the new roof on a surface we have actually seen.

A shingle replacement on a typical Texas home is usually a one-to-three-day job. Here is what each step looks like so nothing on the schedule surprises you.

1. Free inspection and written scope. We inspect the roof, photograph what we find, and hand you a written scope and price: grade, underlayment, flashing, tear-off, decking allowance, permit, and warranty, all named before you put down a deposit.
2. Material delivery and site prep. Shingles and materials are staged, and we protect landscaping, siding, and windows before a single shingle comes off.
3. Tear-off and deck inspection. The old roof comes off down to the deck. Any rotted decking is photographed on your driveway before it is replaced, so a change order is a conversation with evidence, never a day-three surprise.
4. Underlayment, flashing, and shingles. Synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water shield in the valleys, new flashing at every transition, then the new shingles installed to manufacturer spec.
5. Cleanup, magnet sweep, and final walk. We clean the site, run a magnet for stray nails, and walk the finished roof with you before we register the warranty.

Sometimes the tear-off finds real hidden damage — rotted decking under an old leak, a section of fascia that's been wet for years, a ridge board that finally let go. That's a legitimate change order, and we photo-document every square foot of it on your driveway before a single new piece goes down. What isn't legitimate is the change order that surprises you on day three because someone wrote a sloppy scope on day one.

Homeowners insurance pays for a shingle replacement when sudden damage (hail, wind, or a fallen limb) caused the failure, not age or ordinary wear. On a covered claim, with a replacement-cost (RCV) policy, your out-of-pocket is your deductible plus any upgrades you choose; an actual-cash-value (ACV) policy also withholds depreciation. Insurance does not replace a roof that simply wore out. ARP documents the damage accurately so the claim reflects everything our inspection finds, and we work alongside your adjuster.

Insurance window: Most Texas carriers give residential homeowners one year from the date of loss to file a hail or wind claim. That window does not pause for repair decisions, contractor comparisons, or HOA approval. Document the damage now and decide on the scope later. Read the storm damage and insurance walkthrough →

One hard line: after a storm, door-knockers appear offering to "cover" or "waive" your deductible so the roof feels free. That offer is illegal under Texas Business & Commerce Code § 27.02, and a contractor willing to break that law is telling you exactly how they will treat the parts of the job you cannot see. You owe your deductible, you pay it, and if paying it at once is the obstacle, you can finance your share through a third-party lender, never have it "disappear."

Whether you choose ARP or someone else, ask every roofer who bids your replacement these three. The answers tell you more than any star rating.

1. "Is this a full tear-off or a recover, and what happens if you find bad decking?" The honest answer is a tear-off with the deck inspected, and any rot photographed and priced before it is covered. A roofer who plans to shingle over the old layer, or who cannot tell you how decking surprises get handled, is writing you a roof nobody will look underneath.

2. "What exactly is in the written scope?" A complete quote names the shingle brand and grade, the underlayment, ice-and-water shield in the valleys, flashing details, tear-off, decking allowance, permit, and warranty terms, in writing, before a deposit. One number on a business card is the padded one.

3. "Will you still be here when the warranty matters?" A shingle roof should last 15 to 22 years. Ask how long the company has been in business, who supervises the crew, and who answers the phone in year six. Local accountability is the difference between a warranty and a piece of paper.

A shingle roof is one of the larger single expenses a home ever needs, and it should outlast the loan or the credit you put it on. That makes one question quietly decide everything: will the contractor still be here, and still stand behind the work, when a problem shows up years later?
