What a roof costs in Cedar Hill
A full tear-off and replacement in Cedar Hill runs $7,500–$13,500 for architectural asphalt shingles on a 2,000–2,500 sq ft home. Such a footprint carries roughly 22–28 squares of actual roof surface once pitch and waste are counted, which puts the same job at about $298–$536 per square — the unit a contractor's estimate will be built in.
Within Texas, it runs 7% lower than the $11,250 median across the 83 Texas cities covered here.

| Standing Seam Metal | $22,000 – $36,000 | 40–70 years | Hilltop homes, long-term value |
| Stone-Coated Steel | $18,000 – $30,000 | 40–50 years | Metal durability, shingle look |

On what is and isn’t included
The $7,500–$13,500 band covers tear-off, underlayment, the new covering, disposal, and labor on a 2,000–2,500 sq ft footprint. It excludes deck replacement — on a Cedar Hill roof at this price, budget a further $450–$1,620 if the sheathing is soft.
Installed cost divided by service life, using Cedar Hill’s own figures. Architectural Shingles works out cheapest per year at about $382 — even though it is not the cheapest to buy. The bar shows best case to worst case; the dot is the midpoint. All of it assumes the roof reaches its rated life, which depends on the installation more than the product.
What moves the number in Cedar Hill
The $7,500–$13,500 band above assumes a straightforward roof. These are the items that move a Cedar Hill quote off it, priced against that same range rather than a national percentage.
| Cost driver | Effect | Why it costs what it does |
|---|---|---|
| Steep pitch (7:12 and above) | +$1,155–$1,995 | Staging, slower coursing, and fall-protection time. On a $10,500 Cedar Hill roof that is the largest single geometry premium. |
| Removing a second layer | +$675–$2,160 | Tear-off and disposal roughly double. Ask whether the $7,500–$13,500 quoted assumed one layer. |
| Sheathing replacement | +$450–$1,620 | The most common change order, priced per sheet once the deck is open. At $10,500 for the roof itself, an undisclosed sheet rate is where a Cedar Hill quote quietly grows. |
| Two-story access | +$630–$1,050 | Longer material handling on every course, worth roughly $840 on this range. |
| Class 4 impact-resistant upgrade | +$3,000–$3,500 | Taken from the Cedar Hill table above. Whether a carrier credit offsets that $3,000 depends on your own policy — price it, do not assume it. |
| Standing seam metal instead of asphalt | +$14,500–$22,500 | Roughly double the service life, so the comparison is $389 a year against $500 a year, not the sticker price. |
| Ventilation correction | +$210–$525 | Balancing intake to exhaust. At 96 days a year above 90°F and a 94°F summer average, this is the cheapest life-extension on the list. |

Ventilation balance still pays for itself here; a reflective or heavier-mat shingle is a judgement call rather than an obvious buy.
