Reliable Roof Replacement in Louisville

The clearest signs are cracked, curled, or missing shingles, heavy granule loss, and stains on the wood under the roof in the attic. Asphalt shingle roofs last about 20 years on average, depending on weather and upkeep. A roof that is aging but still sound may qualify for roof rejuvenation instead.

It depends on what caused the damage and on your policy. The Kentucky Department of Insurance explains that replacement cost coverage pays to replace damaged property, while actual cash value coverage pays only what the roof is worth after age and wear, which is little on a 30-year-old roof. Sudden storm damage is often covered, while wear usually is not. If the damage is limited, ask us whether roof repair still makes sense on a roof that age.

Roof size, how steep and complex it is, and the shingles you choose drive most of the price. Damaged wood under the shingles adds cost, and one cost guide, Fixr, puts that at $2 to $8 per square foot. Remodeling magazine's Cost vs. Value 2025 report lists a national average of $31,871 for an asphalt roof replacement. Pricing for flat commercial roofs is on the commercial roofing page.

Not always: the old roof has to come off when it already has two layers or is too worn to serve as a base for new shingles. That rule is in Kentucky's residential code, which is based on the 2015 International Residential Code. New shingles also cannot go on roofs flatter than 2 inches of rise per 12 inches across, so a low-slope porch or addition needs a different roofing system. A roof inspection shows how many layers are there.

Most homes take one to seven days, according to one national cost guide, depending on size, material, and how complex the roof is. Weather and repairs to the roof wood can add time. Cold weather also matters, since shingles turn brittle and their seal strips (the adhesive under each shingle) may not bond until warmer days. A replacement is a good time to have attic ventilation checked too.
