Cost to Replace a Roof in Denver (2025 Guide)

Most Denver homeowners pay $8,000–$20,000 for a full roof replacement, averaging $12,000–$15,000 for a 2,000 sq ft home with asphalt shingles. Metal or tile can reach $25,000–$40,000+.

The range comes down to roof size (measured in 100 sq ft "squares"), pitch, material choice, and decking damage found during removal.

Asphalt shingles: $4–$7/sq ft installed. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles: $6–$9/sq ft — but qualify for 20–30% insurance discounts, often paying for the upgrade in a few years.

Metal roofing: $10–$18/sq ft installed, lasts 40–70 years. Tile and slate: $15–$30+/sq ft.

Hail damage to decking adds $75–$100 per sheet. High-altitude labor adds 5–10%. Permit fees run $150–$400. Steep pitch (above 6:12) adds $500–$2,000.

Denver is one of the most hail-active metros in the US. If your roof was damaged by hail or wind, homeowners insurance may cover most of the replacement cost minus your deductible. A licensed roofer can document damage for your claim. Avoid storm chasers — stick with established local companies.
