Material-by-Material Prices
These are estimator figures, not quotes. Two cost sites published them in 2026, and neither has walked your roof. Use the per-square-foot rows to compare materials side by side, and the whole-roof rows to see roughly where a finished job tends to fall.
| Cost row | Figure | Source (year) |
|---|---|---|
| Texas re-roof, statewide average | about $8,634 (range $6,777–$20,531) | This Old House, 2026 (a cost model) |
| Allen re-roof, 2,700 sq ft home | $11,500–$24,000 | RoofVista, 2026 (impact-resistant shingles) |
| Allen architectural shingles, per sq ft | $4.24–$6.36 | RoofVista, 2026 |
| Allen Class 4 shingles, per sq ft | $5.40–$8.64 | RoofVista, 2026 |
| Allen metal, per sq ft | $8.40–$14.70 | RoofVista, 2026 |
Why does the statewide average sit so far below the Allen range? The two sources model different jobs. This Old House averages roofs across all of Texas, while the RoofVista total assumes a 2,700 sq ft Allen house covered in impact-resistant shingles. A larger roof and a tougher shingle both lift the total, so read each row as a rough marker rather than a promise.
For a range sized to your own house, the roof cost calculator runs the same rows against your square footage, stories and roof pitch.
The Variables That Matter
Two houses on the same street can get very different bids. These are the factors that usually explain the gap.
- Roof area, not floor area. Pitch and overhang make a roof bigger than the floor plan below it, so a one-story house often carries more roofing than its living space suggests.
- Pitch and height. A steep or two-story roof needs more safety gear and slower, more careful work, and labor cost climbs with it.
- Material. In RoofVista's 2026 Allen rows, architectural shingles start lowest, Class 4 shingles sit in the middle and metal costs the most per square foot.
- Tear-off and decking. Stripping old layers and swapping soft or rotted deck boards adds cost that often shows up only once the old roof is off.
- Impact rating. Class 4 shingles cost more at the start, but they may qualify for an insurance discount. Amounts vary by insurer.
- Permit and code. Replacing a roof inside Allen city limits takes a city building permit, and pulling it is the roofer's job. Applications received from September 26, 2026 are reviewed under the 2024 International Residential Code.
- HOA rules. Texas law generally stops an HOA from banning wind- or hail-resistant shingles that resemble the neighborhood's approved ones and are equal or better quality.
Line by Line
A useful estimate breaks the job into parts you can compare with a second bid. If a quote shows one lump sum and a signature line, ask for the detail before you go any further. Look for these items:
- Tear-off scope. How many old layers come off, and how the debris leaves your property.
- Decking allowance. A set price per sheet for damaged decking, so surprise boards don't turn into an open-ended bill.
- The roofing product. Brand, product line, color and impact class, with the quantity measured in squares of 100 sq ft.
- Underlayment and flashing. What goes beneath the roof covering and around chimneys, walls and valleys.
- Ventilation. Ridge vents, intake vents and any attic work tied to the new roof.
- Permit. A line confirming the roofer will pull the City of Allen permit.
- Warranty paperwork. The manufacturer's warranty and the roofer's workmanship terms, both in writing.
- Payment schedule. When each payment is due. Texas Department of Insurance tips warn against paying for the whole job up front.
On a job you expect insurance to pay for, a contract of $1,000 or more must also print the state's deductible notice in bold type. If it's missing, ask why before you sign anything.
Deductibles, Explained
When a covered storm damages your roof, the deductible on that claim is yours to pay. Texas law is direct about it, and it bars a contractor from advertising or offering to waive, absorb, rebate or credit your deductible. Breaking that rule is a Class B misdemeanor, so a roofer who offers to "handle" your deductible has handed you a good reason to look elsewhere.
The roofer's part in an insurance job is narrow. A roofer can inspect the roof, record what the storm did and put the cost of the work in writing. Settling the claim is between you and your insurer, and no contractor in Texas may serve as your public adjuster on work it has bid or taken on. Policy questions go to your insurer or to the Texas Department of Insurance at 800-252-3439.
If you're thinking about Class 4 shingles, which pass the UL 2218 impact test, the Texas Department of Insurance says that rating gets the highest premium credit. Each insurer sets its own discount, though, so a Class 4 roof may qualify for savings, but the amount varies by company. After installation, the contractor fills out TDI form PC068. No state grant pays for new roofs. Report any deductible offer to the Texas Attorney General's Consumer Protection hotline at 800-621-0508.
Get a Price for Your Home
A real price starts with someone measuring your roof. Once you ask, your request goes to a single independent roofer working in the Allen area, and that roofer measures the roof and sets out the costs line by line. The roofer pays this site for the introduction; the homeowner never does. Before signing, ask that roofer for proof of City of Allen registration and insurance, and skim our Texas roofing rules so the contract holds no surprises.
