Estimate only. Labor is 50–60% of a NH roof bill; steep/cut-up roofs and ice-dam protection add cost.
What drives the price
- Labor (50–60% of the bill). The Northeast has a short roofing season and a shortage of skilled crews, which pushes labor rates higher than the national average.
- Roof size & pitch. Steep, multi-level or cut-up roofs take longer and need more safety setup.
- Material. 3-tab asphalt is cheapest; architectural shingles cost more but last longer; standing-seam metal is the priciest upfront ($11–$19/sq ft) with a 40–70 year lifespan.
- Tear-off & disposal. Removing the old roof typically adds $600–$1,200.
- Ice-dam protection. NH code and winters often require ice-and-water shield along eaves — worth it, but it adds material and labor.
Frequently asked
How do I compare quotes fairly?
Make sure each quote covers the same scope: tear-off vs overlay, underlayment, ice-and-water shield, flashing, ridge vent, disposal and warranty. A cheap number often skips one of these.
Is metal worth the extra cost?
Over a 40–70 year horizon metal can be cheaper per year than replacing asphalt twice — but the upfront cost is roughly double. It’s a long-hold decision.
Do these prices include my town specifically?
Costs are fairly consistent across Southern NH. See local roofer rankings for your town below.
