If you're a homeowner in Ashland County or Richland County asking "how much should I pay for a new roof?" — you're in the right place. I'm Jesse Weikle, owner of Weikles Roofing, and I've been replacing roofs in this area since 2015. Let me give you the straight answer based on real local prices.

What Does a New Roof Actually Cost in Ashland County?

The average roof replacement in Ashland County costs approximately $9,000. This is for a typical single-family home with about 22 squares of roofing (2,200 square feet of roof area), standard pitch, and architectural shingles.

Here's how that breaks down:

Important: These are 2026 prices specific to Ashland and Richland County. Prices in Cleveland or Columbus will be higher due to higher labor costs.

What Factors Affect Your Roof Replacement Cost?

Roof Size (The Biggest Factor)

Your roof is measured in "squares" — one square equals 100 square feet. A 2,200 square foot roof area is 22 squares.

Quick tip: Your roof area is NOT the same as your home's square footage. Roof overhangs, pitch, and shape all add to the total.

Roof Pitch (Steepness)

Steeper roofs cost more because:

• They require more safety equipment

• They take longer to complete

• They're more physically demanding

A standard 4/12 pitch costs less than a steep 8/12 or 12/12 pitch.

Material Quality

Note: We don't install 3-tab shingles. While they're cheaper upfront, they don't hold up to Ohio weather and need replacement much sooner.

Complexity and Tear-Off

Additional costs come from:

• Multiple layers to remove: +$500-1,500 (we always recommend tear-off for proper installation)

• Damaged decking: +$50-100 per sheet of plywood

• Skylights: +$200-500 per skylight for proper flashing

• Chimneys: +$300-800 depending on size and flashing needs

Why Our Prices May Differ from Other Quotes

When comparing roofing quotes in Ashland County, here's what affects price:

We use an Equipter RB4000 — a roofing buggy that catches debris at the roof line. This means:

• No shingles in your flower beds

• No nails in your driveway

• Happy neighbors

Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty

Every roof we install comes with:

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a roof last in Ohio?

A quality architectural shingle roof in Ohio typically lasts 25-35 years with proper installation. Our area's weather — hot summers, cold winters, ice, and occasional severe storms — is tough on roofs. That's why installation quality matters so much.

Can I finance my new roof?

Currently, we accept cash and check payments. Many homeowners use home equity lines of credit or personal loans for financing. We provide all documentation needed for loan applications.

How long does roof replacement take?

Most roof replacements are completed in 1-2 days. Larger or more complex roofs may take 3 days. Weather delays are communicated immediately.

Do you work with insurance companies?

Yes. If you have storm damage, we'll work with your insurance adjuster and provide all necessary documentation. We can meet them on-site to identify damage.

Should I repair or replace my roof?

General rule: If your roof is under 15 years old and damage is localized, repair makes sense. If it's over 20 years old or has widespread issues, replacement is usually more cost-effective.
