Four short fields. We read each one ourselves, then book the roofer's visit.
Your request goes to an independent local roofing company, and that company makes the visit, writes the estimate and does any work. See our Referral Marketing Disclosure.
Typical Cost by Roof Type
Every figure here comes from a home-cost website. None of them is our price, a bid or a quote, because only the roofer who measures your roof can write down a real number. The Plano row and the Class 4 row are 2025 figures. The three Texas rows are 2026 averages for the whole state.
| Cost row | Figure | Source (year) |
|---|---|---|
| Plano architectural shingles, per sq ft | about $4.50 to $7.00 | RoofVista (2025) |
| Texas asphalt shingles, per sq ft | about $4.92 | This Old House (2026) |
| Texas Class 4 impact-resistant shingles, per sq ft | about $5.40 to $8.64 | RoofVista (2025) |
| Texas metal roofing, per sq ft | about $9.55 | This Old House (2026) |
| Texas clay tile, per sq ft | about $14.79 | This Old House (2026) |
For a whole roof, This Old House puts the Texas average at about $8,634 (2026). Its Texas slate figure is about $14.89 per sq ft, and RoofVista shows metal reaching about $14.70 per sq ft at the top of its range (2025). Choosing Class 4 shingles over standard ones typically adds about $1,000 to $3,000, says RoofVista (2025).
These per-foot figures apply to the roof itself, not the floor plan. Pitch and overhanging eaves make a roof larger than the rooms under it. Here is one worked case. A two-story house of 2,500 to 3,000 square feet with a steep pitch works out to about 1,970 square feet of roof. At $4.50 to $7.00, shingles come to roughly $8,900 to $13,800. Treat that as a planning number only.
Why Quotes Differ
Plano boomed from the 1970s through the 1990s, growing from 17,872 people in 1970 to 222,030 in 2000 (TSHA Handbook of Texas). Many of those homes are now on a second or third roof, and each one has its own history. These are the things that move a price.
- How much roof there is. Price follows the square footage of roof surface, so a bigger roof costs more at almost the same pace.
- Pitch and shape. Many west Plano homes have two stories and busy rooflines with valleys and dormers. Steep, cut-up roofs take longer and push a job toward the top of a range.
- Layers left behind. When more than one old roof is still in place, each extra layer adds tear-off time and dump fees.
- The wood underneath. The City's re-roof rules require rotted decking or rafters to be replaced as needed. Nobody sees those boards until the old shingles come off, so ask how the contract prices them.
- Material. Most roofs in Plano are composition shingle. Some larger homes in areas like Willow Bend carry slate or tile, which sit at the high end. The roofer prices a flat or low-slope section after seeing it.
- HOA rules. Many Plano neighborhoods have an HOA. If yours requires a certain color or product, that choice can raise the price.
- The City's inspections. Every full re-roof needs a City roof permit, and metal and tile roofs get an extra check of the underlayment. Ask who pulls the permit and whether its cost is in the price.
Inside a Roof Estimate
The written estimate is the roofer's work, done after a visit, and it is never ours. A page that just says "replace roof" with one total gives you little to compare. Ask for each part on its own line so two offers can sit side by side.
A useful estimate names the shingle or panel and its grade, plus the underlayment, drip edge, flashing, pipe boots and vents. It covers tear-off, haul-away and cleanup. It sets a per-sheet price for any new decking. It shows a payment plan, a rough start window, and both a manufacturer warranty and a labor warranty, including who registers the manufacturer's coverage. For Class 4 shingles, look for the UL 2218 rating on the paperwork.
No Texas agency issues roofing licenses, so the checks fall to you. Ask to see a liability insurance certificate, and if the company has staff, proof of workers' comp as well. Plano requires roofing companies to register with the City as general contractors before a permit is issued, so ask to see the permit itself. Get a local address and a few past customers you can contact. Pass on any deal that wants cash only or the full price before work starts.
Insurance and Your Roof Cost
After hail or wind, your homeowners policy may pay for part of the job. Your insurance company makes the decision on the claim. The roofer can photograph damage and put an estimate in writing, but cannot argue the claim for you. If you want someone on your side, that has to be a public adjuster holding a Texas Department of Insurance license.
Under Texas law, the deductible is always your cost. Any roofer who offers to waive, absorb or rebate it is breaking that law. Insurers also differ on how they pay for an older roof, and some hold back part of the money until the work is done and paid. Ask your insurer how your own policy pays. Class 4 shingles may earn a premium discount, but each insurer sets the amount, so ask them.
One more point. Sign a roofing contract at your own door, and Texas generally lets you back out before midnight on the third business day. Texas has no separate cancel right after a claim denial. Our page on Texas roofing rules covers the details.
Turn the Range Into a Quote
Run your own numbers in the calculator below. It uses your home's size, stories and pitch to give a rough range. When you want a firm figure, send us a request. A local roofing pro looks at the roof, checks the decking from inside the attic, then puts a quote in writing. There is no cost to send a request. Still unsure whether you need a whole new roof?
