How Much Does a New Roof Cost in Fort Worth & DFW?

KNJ Roofing Brothers·June 22, 2026·5 min read

It's the first question almost every homeowner asks us: "What's a new roof going to cost me?" Fair question — and you deserve a straight answer, not a runaround.

The honest truth is that no two roofs cost exactly the same. But here's what actually drives the price, so you can walk into your free estimate knowing what to expect.

What affects the price of a roof

1. The size of your roof. Roofing is priced by the "square" (a 10x10 ft area). A bigger or steeper roof simply takes more material and labor.

2. The material. Asphalt shingle is the most affordable and most popular in Texas. Metal costs more upfront but lasts far longer. We specialize in both.

3. The pitch and complexity. Lots of valleys, dormers, chimneys, or a steep slope all add time and safety equipment.

4. The condition underneath. If the decking (the wood under your shingles) is rotted from old leaks, it has to be replaced — that's not something anyone can quote before they look.

5. Add-ons. New gutters, better ventilation, upgraded underlayment, or skylights all change the number.

So… a ballpark?

For most homes around Fort Worth and the DFW metroplex, a quality asphalt shingle replacement typically lands somewhere in the mid-four to low-five figures, and metal roofing runs higher because it's a lifetime system. But please don't take any number off the internet as gospel — including this one. The only accurate price is one based on your actual roof.

That's exactly why our inspections and estimates are always free.

The game-changer: insurance

Here's what a lot of homeowners don't realize. If your roof was damaged by a hailstorm or high winds — which North Texas gets plenty of — your homeowner's insurance may cover the replacement. In that case, your out-of-pocket cost could be just your deductible.

We pride ourselves on helping you get the most from your insurance company: documenting the damage, meeting your adjuster on-site, and making sure your claim is treated fairly.

The bottom line

A roof is a big investment, but it protects everything — and everyone — under it. Whether you pay out of pocket or through a storm claim, we'll give you an honest number and never pressure you.
