Answer a few questions about your home and roof to get a real cost range — instantly, with no phone number required. See your estimate first, then decide if you want a written quote.
Most full roof replacements in Northern Virginia run $9,000 to $21,000 for standard asphalt or architectural shingles on an average-size home, with metal, synthetic slate, and natural slate running higher. See the full cost breakdown by material for the complete picture, or use the calculator above for a number based on your specific home.
Smaller roof footprint, common across Alexandria and Arlington. Typically the lowest total cost, though shared walls can affect access.
The most common project we see across Fairfax, Springfield, and the rest of NOVA. Roof size and pitch vary the most in this group.
More roof area and often more complexity (dormers, multiple slopes), which pushes total cost higher even at the same material tier.
Quick reference — see the full materials guide for how each option performs and looks.
If the damage is isolated and your roof is under about 15 years old, a repair is usually the smarter first move. If you're seeing damage in multiple spots, or this isn't your first repair call in a year or two, replacement is typically the better long-term value. See our full repair vs. replacement guide for a detailed breakdown.
Labor and material pricing is fairly consistent across the region, so these are worked examples using the same pricing model — not separate city rates.
Roughly $9,100–$14,700. Older Alexandria homes sometimes need decking repair once the old roof is off — worth a contingency if your home is several decades old.
Roughly $12,350–$19,950. Mature tree cover in the area means more debris and occasional storm-related repairs layered on top of routine aging.
Roughly $17,100–$30,400. A common upgrade choice for homeowners planning to stay long-term, given metal's lifespan and low maintenance.
Roughly $21,500–$34,700. Larger, more complex rooflines (multiple slopes, dormers) push this toward the higher end of the range — an $18,200–$29,400 base rises about 18% once that complexity is factored in.
It gives you a realistic range based on typical Northern Virginia pricing for your home size, material, and roof complexity. It is not a substitute for an on-site look at your actual roof — for an exact number, request a free written estimate.
Most homeowners know their home's square footage but not their roof's. We convert home size to an estimated roof area using typical Northern Virginia home layouts. If you know your actual roof square footage, enter it manually for a more precise estimate.
Yes, the estimate assumes a standard tear-off and disposal of your existing roofing, new underlayment, flashing, basic ventilation, and standard labor. It does not include extras like plywood decking replacement or difficult access unless you select those options.
Labor and material pricing is fairly consistent across Northern Virginia, so the calculator uses one regional pricing model rather than separate numbers per city. Local factors like older home decking or HOA requirements can affect your specific project — see the cost examples below.
A calculator gets you close. A free, written estimate gets you exact — no pressure, no obligation.
