A new roof in Huntsville typically runs $9,000–$22,000 for a standard architectural shingle replacement on a single-family home. Pricing depends on roof size (squares), pitch, material grade, decking condition, and how complex the roof's hips, valleys, and penetrations are. Below is the full 2026 breakdown for the Huntsville metro.

Comparisons
Metal costs 1.5–2x more up front but lasts 2–3x longer
IR shingles cost ~15% more but may earn an Alabama insurance discount
Insurance Coverage
If your project is tied to a covered storm loss, your only out-of-pocket cost is your deductible. We work directly with every major Alabama carrier and document the scope so the carrier pays for the actual damage — not a low-ball estimate.
Financing Options
We offer flexible financing across North Alabama with low monthly payments and same-day approval on most applications. Many homeowners replace their roof for less per month than their cable bill — see our Financing page for terms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why such a wide price range?+
Roof size, pitch, and material grade each move the number significantly. A 20-square ranch vs. a 40-square 2-story with a 10/12 pitch can easily double the cost.
How long is an estimate valid?+
Our quotes hold for 60 days, locking in material costs against supplier pricing changes.
Is there a permit fee?+
Yes — Madison County permits run $75–$250 depending on jurisdiction; we include this in our quotes.
