A new roof is a big bill. Knowing the parts helps you compare quotes. This guide uses the price ranges from the Coeur d'Alene Roof Replacement service pages. They are typical ranges, not quotes. Your roof may fall outside them.
Typical ranges for a full replacement
These numbers cover a standard roof replacement.
- Asphalt shingle roof, average home: $6,000 to $14,000. This is the most common choice.
- Metal roof, average home: $12,000 to $30,000. It costs more up front.
- Tear-off of old layers: $1,000 to $3,500. More layers add cost.
- Deck board replacement: $70 to $120 per sheet. Common on older homes.
- Flashing, vents and chimney work: $500 to $2,500. It depends on roof features.
- Permit and disposal fees: $300 to $1,500. Local rules set them.
Tear-off means stripping the old roof down to the wood. Decking is the wood boards under the shingles. Flashing is thin metal that seals joints and edges.
Ranges after hail or storm damage
Storm jobs often cost more because there is more to fix at once.
- Asphalt shingle roof replacement: $8,000 to $20,000. Size and slope change the price.
- Impact-resistant shingles: $10,000 to $25,000. These have tougher layers made for hail.
- Metal roof: $15,000 to $40,000. Higher cost up front, long lifespan.
- Removing extra old layers: $1,000 to $5,000. Common on older homes with past re-roofs.
- Decking repair or replacement: $500 to $3,500. It depends on how much wood is soft or broken.
- Gutters and downspouts: $1,000 to $4,000. Hail often dents them, so they get replaced with the roof.

What a quote should list
A clear quote names each part. Ask for these in writing:
- The roof material and brand
- Tear-off and haul-away of old roofing
- Decking: what is included and how extras are priced
- Flashing, vents, and edge metal
- Permit and disposal fees
- Cleanup of nails and debris
- Start and finish timing
- Payment steps
If a line is missing, ask about it. Vague quotes lead to surprise bills.
What pushes the price up
Size and slope come first. A steep roof with many corners takes more time and more care. Roof features such as chimneys, skylights, and vents add work. Material matters. Metal costs more up front than asphalt shingles. Access matters too. Tight yards and steep lots slow the work.
Older houses: the hidden line items
Older homes bring surprises. Once the old roof is off, the wood below may be soft. Past re-roofs may have left extra layers. Old flashing may need to be replaced instead of reused. Chimney work is common.
So ask how the provider prices decking. A per-sheet price is easier to compare than a vague line that says extra if needed. Ask for photos of any bad wood before you approve more work. Hold some money back in your budget for these unknowns.
Cost and climate
Intense sun, heavy snow, and hail shape what you buy. Impact-resistant shingles cost more up front but are made for hail. Metal also costs more at the start. Some owners pick it for long life and snow. Ask each provider why they suggest one material over another for your roof.
A simple budget plan
- Pick the material you want to price first
- Add tear-off, decking, flashing, and fees from the ranges above
- Add gutters if hail hit your home
- Set aside a cushion for hidden wood damage
- Compare written quotes line by line, not only the total
Paying for it
Get two or three written quotes. Be careful with large deposits. Ask how payment is split and when the last payment is due. If a storm caused the damage, talk to your insurer and read your own policy. Coverage rules differ, and this guide cannot speak for any insurer.
