How Much Does a New Roof Cost in Texas? (2026 Pricing Guide)
Quick answerA new roof in Texas costs $10,000-$35,000 for most homes in 2026 — roughly $4.50-$7.50 per square foot for architectural asphalt shingles and $9-$16 for standing-seam metal. Size, pitch, decking condition, and material drive the price; storm-related replacements are often covered by homeowners insurance.

What does a roof replacement cost per square foot in Texas?

Architectural asphalt shingles run about $4.50-$7.50 per square foot installed across Texas markets like Houston, Austin, San Antonio and College Station. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles add roughly 10-20%. Standing-seam metal roofing costs $9-$16 per square foot, and clay or concrete tile can exceed $15. A typical 2,200 sq ft home with a 2,800 sq ft roof surface lands between $13,000 and $21,000 for quality asphalt.

What makes a roof cost more or less?

The big five: roof size and pitch (steeper means more labor and safety equipment), material choice, decking damage found after tear-off, the number of layers to remove, and penetrations like chimneys and skylights that need flashing work. Two-story homes and complex hip-and-valley designs also add labor hours.

Will insurance pay for my new roof?

If the roof was damaged by hail or wind, yes — that is exactly what your homeowners policy covers, minus your deductible. Texas insurers cannot require you to use their contractor. A free inspection that documents storm damage is the first step; Trophy Exteriors handles the claim paperwork and adjuster meeting for you.
