Homeowners typically spend on asphalt shingle installs using CertainTeed Landmark, with costs driven by shingle material, roof size, and labor. The price ranges below cover common residential projects and reflect typical market conditions in the United States.
Cost estimates include both total project ranges and per-unit pricing to help buyers compare bids and budget accurately. Assumptions: standard roof, single-story, typical pitch, and standard warranty options.
| Item | Low | Average | High | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shingles (CertainTeed Landmark, 33 sq ft per bundle) | $24 | $34 | $50 | Per bundle; 3 bundles cover ~100 sq ft. |
| Installed Roof Cost (per sq ft) | $5.00 | $6.50 | $8.00 | Includes labor, disposal, and basic tear-off |
| Total Project (2,000 sq ft roof) | $10,000 | $13,000 | $16,000 | Assumes standard bid with typical pitch |
| Permits & Inspections | $100 | $350 | $1,000 | Regional variances apply |
| Delivery/Disposal | $50 | $150 | $350 | Roll-off bin or equivalent |
Overview Of Costs
Cost ranges combine material, installation, and common ancillary charges. The Landmark line uses architectural shingles with a higher wind rating and longer warranty, which can push per-square-foot prices above basic 3-tab shingles. Assumptions: standard residential roof, no major structural work, and mid-grade installation labor.
| Component | Low | Average | High | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Materials ( shingles, underlayment, starter course ) | $2.40 | $3.40 | $5.00 | Includes mineral stabilizers and manufacturer warranty |
| Labor (install, tear-off, cleanup) | $3.00 | $4.50 | $6.50 | Hourly crew rates vary by region |
| Equipment & Tools | $0.40 | $0.80 | $1.50 | Scaffolding, nail guns, safety gear |
| Permits | $100 | $350 | $1,000 | Local code and permit fees |
| Delivery/Disposal | $50 | $150 | $350 | Haul-away and disposal |
| Warranty & Contingency | $100 | $300 | $800 | Labor or material contingencies |
Cost Breakdown
data-formula=”labor_hours × hourly_rate”> The following table shows typical drivers and how they affect pricing. Labour time depends on roof size, pitch, and complexity; steeper pitches and multiple ridges add hours and cost. Per-unit examples help compare bids by shingles per square and labor hours per square.
| Category | Details | Low | Average | High | Assumptions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Materials | Shingles, underlayment, starter course | $2.40 | $3.40 | $5.00 | Landmark shingles, standard 8-12 pitch |
| Labor | Roof removal, installation, cleanup | $3.00 | $4.50 | $6.50 | 2–4-person crew, 2,000 sq ft roof |
| Equipment | Scaffolding, nail guns, safety | $0.40 | $0.80 | $1.50 | Basic equipment included |
| Permits | Local building inspection | $100 | $350 | $1,000 | Urban vs rural variances |
| Delivery/Disposal | Shingle delivery, debris removal | $50 | $150 | $350 | Bin or haul-away |
| Warranty | Manufacturer and workmanship | $100 | $300 | $800 | Standard vs premium plans |
| Taxes | Local sales tax | $0 | $0 | $0.10 | Depends on jurisdiction |
Factors That Affect Price
Pricing variables include roof size, pitch, removal needs, and local labor markets. A steeper pitch adds hours and safety requirements, while a larger roof increases material orders and disposal costs. Shingle color and warranty tier can also shift the per-square-foot price by a few dollars.
Two niche drivers often appear in bids: (1) roof pitch and complexity (e.g., 8:12 or greater) and (2) regionally varying labor rates. In markets with higher wages or restricted disposal capacity, total project costs trend higher. A typical range for mid-sized homes with standard pitches reflects these factors.
Ways To Save
Budget tips include combining projects, negotiating multi-year warranties, and selecting standard underlayment options. Removing unnecessary add-on services, like premium vent systems, can reduce upfront costs without impacting core performance. Ask for a detailed breakdown to identify areas with the most leverage.
Seasonality can also influence price. Some contractors offer discounts in shoulder seasons to fill calendars, while peak seasons may see higher demand and tighter crews. Request written estimates with itemized line items to compare apples-to-apples across contractors.
Regional Price Differences
Prices vary by region due to supply, labor markets, and disposal costs. In the Northeast, total project costs may be 5–12% higher than the national average due to stricter codes and higher wage scales. In the Midwest, savings of about 3–7% relative to average are common. In the Southwest, material transport and permitting nuances can shift totals by 2–5%.
Local contrasts also appear in urban, suburban, and rural markets. Urban areas typically experience higher labor rates and permit costs, while rural markets may show lower labor costs but added travel fees. These regional deltas should be reflected in bid spreadsheets for an accurate comparison.
