For yours: Asphalt shingle

What this is keeping at bay

The things that tend to go wrong with roof, and what they cost once they do.

• Water stain on the ceilingA ceiling stain means water has been somewhere it shouldn't. If there's a bathroom above, suspect plumbing first; if it's the top floor, suspect the roof. Either way, water travels — the stain is often not directly below the source. A stain that's growing, damp, or sagging needs attention now.Urgent — days matter · Call a professional · $200–$2,000
• Roof leakingRoof leaks usually start at penetrations and joints rather than in the open field of shingles — flashing around chimneys, vents, skylights and valleys is where most begin. Water can travel far along rafters before it drips, so the interior wet spot rarely sits directly under the entry point. Don't climb onto a wet or steep roof to investigate.Urgent — days matter · Call a professional · $350–$1,800

What this work costs

Published typical ranges, not a quote for your job.

• Roof replacement costA new asphalt shingle roof on a typical single-family home generally runs $8,000–$20,000, with most homeowners around $12,000. Cost is driven mainly by square footage, pitch, the number of existing layers to tear off, and material choice — metal, tile and slate cost substantially more than asphalt.$12,000
