Most homes in our part of Texas pay about $5,000 – $14,000 for architectural shingles and $10,000 – $17,000 for standing-seam metal. The final price depends on roof size, pitch, tear-off needs, and material choice.
Quick Takeaway – TL;DR
• Asphalt shingles run $2.75–$4.50 per square foot installed
• Metal runs $5.00–$8.50 per square foot installed
• Size, tear-off, decking repairs, and windstorm paperwork change the total
• Class 3 or Class 4 shingles and good ventilation help your roof last longer in Gulf Coast heat
Southern Roofing Solutions has replaced hundreds of roofs across Silsbee, Lumberton, Beaumont, and int the Houston area, so the numbers below come straight from real 2025 projects in your neighborhood.
2025 Average Roof Prices
| Material | Cost / Sq Ft | Typical Total on 2,000 Sq Ft Roof |
|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingles | $2.75 – $4.5 | $5,500 – $14,000 |
| Metal (standing seam or stone-coated) | $5.00 – $8.50 | $10,000 – $17,000 |
| Premium tile or slate | $8 – $20+ | $16,000 – $40,000+ |
What Affects the Final Price?
- Roof size and pitch (steeper or complex shapes need extra labor)
- Material grade (impact-resistant shingles or premium metal cost more but may earn insurance discounts)
- Tear-off vs overlay (removing old layers protects your warranty)
- Decking repairs (rotted plywood adds $.75 – $1.50 per sq ft)
- Windstorm paperwork (WPI-8 inspections on the Gulf Coast add $150 – $500)
- Labor and liability insurance (licensed, insured crews protect your home)
- Extras (ridge vents, skylight flashing, gutters)
A recent NAHB cost study shows labor and materials together make up about 75 percent of a project’s price.
Asphalt vs Metal Value for Texas Weather
Asphalt Shingles
• Lower upfront spend
• Rated 25–30 years, shorter without good ventilation
• Class 4 impact shingles can cut hail premiums
Metal Roofing
• Higher upfront cost, 40 plus year lifespan
• Sheds hurricane rain, resists hail dents, reflects heat
• Lightweight, good for older rafters

How to Estimate Your Own Roof Cost
- Obtain the square footage of your roof (Manually Measuring, Measuring with google maps (don’t forget to account for slope), or contacting a roofer and have them provide a free roof report.)
- Take that square footage number and multiply it by the “Cost /Sq Ft” from the table above for you selected roof type.
- Pick your material rate from the table
- Add 10 percent for vents, flashing, and waste
Example: 2,500 Sq Ft roof @$3.25 per sq ft (mid range Shingle) comes out to be $8,125.
*Don’t forget if your using google maps to figured your roof area you will have to add the “slope coefficient” to the flat square footage.
Roof slope coefficients
- (1-2/12 Pitch): 1.00
- (3-4/12 Pitch): 1.05
- (5-6/12 Pitch): 1.12
- (7-8/12 Pitch): 1.2
- (9-10/12 Pitch): 1.3
- (11-12/12 Pitch): 1.41
