Roof Replacement in Amarillo

Usually $7,500 to $15,000. A standard asphalt shingle replacement runs $6,000–$15,000 on local price pages, most homes land between $9,000 and $14,000 in architectural shingles, and larger, steeper or two-story homes run $15,000 to $20,000.

Size sets the base. Roofers price by the square, 100 square feet of roof, and a typical Amarillo roof is 17 to 22 squares. The roof is bigger than the floor plan: a 2,000 sq ft ranch usually carries 2,300 to 2,600 sq ft of roof once pitch and overhangs count. The Amarillo roof cost guide ranks what else moves the price.

Not with shingles: the city says new roof coverings can't be installed without removing the existing layers, except for complete and separate metal roofing systems. Removal is part of the job, and so is what the tear-off reveals: damaged decking found at that stage adds to the cost and is common after long-term hail exposure. Ask the company to price replacement decking per sheet before work starts. The metal roofing page covers the one exception.

Drip edge, replaced vents and flashings, chimney crickets, attic ventilation and a posted permit number are the main items Amarillo checks on a re-roof:

• Drip edge is mandatory on every asphalt shingle roof.
• Damaged or worn vents and flashings must be replaced, not reused.
• Chimney crickets are required for chimneys wider than 30 inches.
• Attic ventilation needs at least 1 square foot of vent area for every 150 square feet of attic.
• The permit number must be displayed where it can be seen from the street.

The Amarillo re-roof permit guide explains each one and the carbon monoxide alarm rule that applies at final inspection.

Architectural shingles are the Panhandle standard, and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles add roughly 10% to 20% to their price. The Texas Panhandle is one of the windiest regions in the United States, with winds of 50 mph or more every year. The state insurance department says your insurer might give a discount for roofing materials less likely to be damaged by wind, hail or fire, so ask your agent before choosing.
