Cost to replace a 2,200 square foot roof, by roofing type
Roofers price by the square, and one square is 100 square feet, so a 2,200 square foot roof is 22 squares. The table multiplies 22 squares by the low and high installed cost of each roofing. The last column adds tearing off the old roof at $100 to $500 per square, which is $2,200 to $11,000 on this roof.
| Roofing | Per square foot | Per square | 22 squares, no tear-off | With tear-off |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingles | $4 to $12 | $400 to $1,200 | $8,800 to $26,400 | $11,000 to $37,400 |
| Standing seam metal | $4 to $30 | $400 to $3,000 | $8,800 to $66,000 | $11,000 to $77,000 |
| Wood shingles | $7 to $15 | $700 to $1,500 | $15,400 to $33,000 | $17,600 to $44,000 |
| Clay shingles | $12 to $25 | $1,200 to $2,500 | $26,400 to $55,000 | $28,600 to $66,000 |
| Slate | $12 to $25 | $1,200 to $2,500 | $26,400 to $55,000 | $28,600 to $66,000 |
These are HomeAdvisor's national ranges for materials and installation together, not prices for your area. On 22 squares, every $100 a roofer adds or takes off per square moves the total by $2,200. The starting prices come from the store listings and cost guides under Sources, last checked in October 2026. Prices vary by region and season, so change any price to match your store or your quote.
What moves the price on a 2,200 square foot roof
A roof this size is more likely to have hips, valleys and a garage wing, and every one adds labor and waste. Two 2,200 square foot roofs can be priced far apart because one is a plain gable and the other is cut up with valleys and dormers.
Next to what most people pay
HomeAdvisor says most homeowners spend $6,138 to $13,994 on a new shingle roof, $10,066 on average. Spread over 2,200 square feet, the average of $10,066 works out to $4.58 per square foot, all in. That sits in the lower half of the $4 to $12 the guide gives for the roof alone, before the $1 to $5 for a tear-off.
It also says labor is about 60 percent of a new shingle roof, at $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot, which is $3,300 to $8,800 on 22 squares. Booking in peak construction season can add 15 to 30 percent; on the middle of this roof's asphalt estimate, $24,200, that is $3,630 to $7,260.
Planning a 2,200 square foot roof
Give every roofer the same picture of the roof: a sketch or an aerial measurement report with the area, the pitch, and the length of valleys and hips. Quotes built on the same numbers are easier to compare.
How the 2,200 square foot estimate is worked out
- Squares = 2,200 ÷ 100 = 22
- New asphalt shingle roof = 22 × $400 = $8,800 at the low end, and 22 × $1,200 = $26,400 at the high end
- Tear-off = 22 × $100 = $2,200 at the low end, and 22 × $500 = $11,000 at the high end
- Estimate = $8,800 + $2,200 = $11,000 at the low end, and $26,400 + $11,000 = $37,400 at the high end
If a quote already includes the tear-off, choose No tear-off in the calculator above so it is not counted twice.
Shingles for a 2,200 square foot roof, materials only
Doing it yourself, the shingles and felt cost about $3,529: 73 bundles of architectural shingles at $44.99 and 7 rolls of #15 felt at $34.99, with 10 percent waste, at McCoy's Building Supply prices checked in October 2026.
| 2,200 square foot roof in asphalt shingles | Cost |
|---|---|
| Shingles and felt, materials only | About $3,529 |
| Installed by a roofer, no tear-off | $8,800 to $26,400 |
| Installed by a roofer, with tear-off | $11,000 to $37,400 |
The gap of $5,271 to $22,871 is the roofer's labor and costs, plus the nails, drip edge, flashing, vents, ridge cap, delivery and tax the materials figure leaves out. The 2,200 square foot shingle order has the full list.
Is your roof really 2,200 square feet?
The most common mistake in a roof estimate is using the floor area as the roof area. This table works back from a 2,200 square foot roof to the house under it, 4 feet long for every 3 wide with 12 inch overhangs.
| Roof pitch | Pitch multiplier | Flat area covered | House that fits | Floor area |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 in 12 | 1.054 | 2,087 sq ft | 50 by 38 ft | 1,900 sq ft |
| 6 in 12 | 1.118 | 1,968 sq ft | 49 by 37 ft | 1,813 sq ft |
| 8 in 12 | 1.202 | 1,831 sq ft | 47 by 35 ft | 1,645 sq ft |
| 10 in 12 | 1.302 | 1,690 sq ft | 45 by 34 ft | 1,530 sq ft |
| 12 in 12 | 1.414 | 1,556 sq ft | 43 by 32 ft | 1,376 sq ft |
At 6 in 12, a 2,200 square foot roof sits over a house of about 49 by 37 feet, with 1,813 square feet of floor. Going the other way, a one-story house with 2,200 square feet of floor has about 2,676 square feet of roof at the same pitch and overhangs. In asphalt shingles with a tear-off, that roof is about $13,400 to $45,500, close to the figures for a 2,500 square foot roof.
A two-story house with 2,200 square feet of floor space has about 1,100 on each level, so its roof is about 1,384 square feet, close to a 1,500 square foot roof. A garage or porch adds its own roof area; the roof area calculator measures yours.
Before you sign
Check that the quote says what goes in the valleys. The code allows several valley linings, from metal to a sheet of roll roofing or membrane, and the choice changes both the price and how the valley looks.
Other roof sizes
In asphalt shingles with a tear-off, a 2,000 square foot roof is $10,000 to $34,000 and a 2,500 square foot roof is $12,500 to $42,500.

Common questions
How much does it cost to replace a 2,200 square foot roof?
About $11,000 to $37,400 with asphalt shingles and a tear-off, or $8,800 to $26,400 without, by HomeAdvisor's national figures. Quotes from roofers in your area are the only firm number.
How much does a 2,200 square foot metal roof cost?
For standing seam metal, about $8,800 to $66,000 before tear-off, at HomeAdvisor's $4 to $30 per square foot installed. The range is wide because it covers metals from steel and aluminum up to zinc and copper.
How much does it cost to tear off a 2,200 square foot roof?
About $2,200 to $11,000, at HomeAdvisor's $1 to $5 per square foot for removing and hauling away the old roofing. Some quotes already include it.
Why do quotes for the same size roof vary so much?
Shape, pitch and height. A cut-up roof with hips, valleys and dormers takes more labor and more waste than a plain gable of the same area, and HomeAdvisor says steep and high roofs cost more to work on.
How many squares is a 2,200 square foot roof?
22 squares. With 10 percent waste a shingle order is 24.2 squares, or 73 bundles at 3 bundles a square.
Is a 2,200 square foot roof the same as a 2,200 square foot house?
No. A one-story house with 2,200 square feet of floor has about 2,676 square feet of roof at 6 in 12 with 12 inch overhangs, and a 2,200 square foot roof fits a one-story house of about 1,813 square feet.
