How Much Does It Cost to Replace a Roof in St. Louis, MO?

One of the first questions homeowners ask us is, “How much will a new roof cost?” The honest answer: it depends. But we can absolutely give you realistic ranges and help you understand what affects the price.

The team and crews at Perfect Pitch Roofing & Exteriors, Inc. have installed and replaced roofs across St. Louis, Jefferson, St. Charles, and Franklin Counties for decades.

Here’s what goes into roof replacement pricing in our area.

Typical Roof Replacement Price Ranges

Every home is different, but for a typical single-family home in the St. Louis area, you can generally expect:

Smaller, simple roofs: often in the low to mid five-figure range
Average-size, standard complexity roofs: in the mid five-figure range
Larger, steep, or complex roofs: higher, depending on size and materials

(Your actual price will depend on a detailed on-site inspection and measurements.)

Key Factors That Affect Roof Replacement Cost

1. Roof Size and Complexity

Larger roofs require more materials and labor.
Steeper roofs and roofs with many valleys, dormers, or penetrations take more time and safety setup.

2. Roofing Material

Standard architectural asphalt shingles – Most common and budget-friendly.

Impact-resistant (Class 3 or Class 4) shingles – Higher upfront cost, better storm performance, potential insurance benefits.
Metal, slate, or composite slate – Premium options with higher initial investment and longer lifespans.

3. Tear-Off and Existing Layers

Removing one old layer vs two or more affects labor and disposal costs.
If the decking underneath is damaged and needs replacement, that adds to the total.

4. Roof Accessories and Upgrades

New underlayment, ice and water shield, flashing, vents, and pipe boots
Needed replacement of soft / rotted / water damaged wood decking
Upgraded ventilation (ridge vents, additional intake vents)
New gutters or gutter guards installed with the roof

5. Warranty and Workmanship

Manufacturer-certified installations (like GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning) can qualify you for stronger warranties.
Quality workmanship and a solid workmanship warranty (like the five-year workmanship warranty from Perfect Pitch Roofing & Exteriors, Inc.) add long-term value.

Insurance vs Out-of-Pocket Roof Replacements

If your roof was damaged by hail or wind, your homeowner’s insurance may cover part or all of the replacement cost (minus your deductible). In those cases:

We inspect and document storm damage.
You file a claim with your insurance company.
We can meet your adjuster on-site to review the damage.

If your roof is simply old and worn out, replacement is typically an out-of-pocket expense. Financing options can help spread the cost over time.

Why Cheap Roof Quotes Can Be Risky

Very low bids often mean:

Cutting corners on materials (cheaper shingles, minimal underlayment)
Skipping important details (flashing, ventilation, proper flashing replacement)
Inexperienced or uninsured crews

A roof is a long-term investment in your home. Saving a little upfront can cost a lot more later if the roof fails early or causes leaks.
