Short answer: A typical Florida home with about 2,000 square feet of roof surface pays roughly $10,500 to $16,500 for architectural shingles, and $22,000 to $40,000 or more for standing seam metal or concrete tile. Miami-Dade and Broward usually run 20% to 30% higher.
Florida price ranges by material
| Material | Per square installed | 22-square roof | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Architectural shingle | $475 – $750 | $10,500 – $16,500 | 20–25 yrs |
| Impact-resistant shingle | $600 – $925 | $13,000 – $20,500 | 20–30 yrs |
| Metal, exposed fastener (5V) | $800 – $1,200 | $17,500 – $26,500 | 30–40 yrs |
| Metal, standing seam | $1,000 – $1,800 | $22,000 – $39,500 | 40–60 yrs |
| Concrete tile | $1,000 – $1,900 | $22,000 – $42,000 | 40–50 yrs |
| Flat roof (TPO / modified) | $600 – $1,100 | $13,000 – $24,000 | 15–25 yrs |
A square is 100 square feet of roof surface. Roof area is not the same as your home’s living area. Overhangs, porches, garages and pitch add to it, which is why a 1,800 sq ft house often has 22 to 30 squares of roof. Measure yours to get the real number.
What moves the price by region
South Florida (Miami-Dade and Broward)
These two counties make up the Florida Building Code’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. Products need stricter approvals, installation methods are more demanding, and inspections are tougher. Published 2026 cost guides put the premium at about 20% to 30% over the rest of the state. Tile and flat roofs are also more common here, which raises the average.
Coastal counties
Higher design wind speeds near the coast can mean more fasteners, stronger underlayment attachment and corrosion-resistant metals. The effect is smaller than the HVHZ premium but real.
Southwest Florida and Tampa Bay
After Hurricanes Ian (2022), Helene and Milton (2024), demand spiked in these areas. Prices and wait times rise after big storms and ease as crews catch up.
Central and North Florida
Mostly shingle homes, more contractors competing, and lower design wind speeds inland. These areas tend to sit at the lower end of the ranges above.
The Keys and rural counties
Hauling material and crews to the Keys or to remote rural areas adds cost. Expect quotes above the statewide range.
Costs that show up after tear-off
- Rotten deck boards or plywood, usually priced per sheet. Ask for the per-sheet price in writing before you sign.
- Extra layers of old roofing that must come off.
- Fascia and soffit repairs.
- Code upgrades, such as deck re-nailing or secondary water resistance, if they are not already in the quote.
- Skylights, vents and gutters that need replacing.
- Permit fees, which vary by county and city.
Cost by roof size
Squares below include 10% waste. Prices are statewide ranges outside the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone.
| Roof size | Roof surface | Architectural shingle | Standing seam metal | Concrete tile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 squares | about 1,350 sq ft | $7,000 – $11,000 | $15,000 – $27,000 | $15,000 – $28,500 |
| 20 squares | about 1,800 sq ft | $9,500 – $15,000 | $20,000 – $36,000 | $20,000 – $38,000 |
| 25 squares | about 2,250 sq ft | $12,000 – $19,000 | $25,000 – $45,000 | $25,000 – $47,500 |
| 30 squares | about 2,700 sq ft | $14,000 – $22,500 | $30,000 – $54,000 | $30,000 – $57,000 |
| 35 squares | about 3,200 sq ft | $16,500 – $26,000 | $35,000 – $63,000 | $35,000 – $66,500 |
| 40 squares | about 3,650 sq ft | $19,000 – $30,000 | $40,000 – $72,000 | $40,000 – $76,000 |
Repair or replace?
- Repair when damage is limited to one area, the roof is under about 15 years old, and your insurer is not asking for replacement.
- Replace when leaks keep coming back in different spots, shingles are curling or losing granules across the roof, the deck is soft, or your insurer requires it.
- Check the 25% rule. On roofs built before March 2009, repairing more than 25% of a section in a year can trigger full replacement to current code. See our insurance and roof rules guide.
Ways to save
- Get three written quotes with the same square count and scope.
- Apply for My Safe Florida Home before signing if your home qualifies. See the grant guide.
- Update your wind mitigation report after the new roof to capture premium credits.
- Avoid the weeks right after a hurricane if your roof is not urgent. Demand and prices rise.
- Ask about off-peak scheduling. Some roofers price lower in slower months.
How to compare roofing quotes
- Confirm every quote uses the same number of squares. If one is far lower, ask how they measured.
- Check the exact product, color and wind rating.
- Look for tear-off, underlayment type, drip edge, flashing, vents and permit in the scope.
- Get the price per sheet for deck replacement.
- Check the contractor’s license at MyFloridaLicense.com and ask for proof of insurance.
- Compare workmanship warranties, not just manufacturer warranties.
