Pricing guide
What roofing costs in Alpharetta
Three Alpharetta houses, priced. A Downtown ranch, a Windward two-story, and a Milton estate, each with the repairs it typically needs and what a full replacement costs in architectural shingle, designer shingle and metal. These are typical 2026 ranges, not a quote; your written price comes after we have walked the roof.
Three houses
Most of Alpharetta falls into one of these. Find yours.
The Downtown ranch. A 1,800–2,200 sq ft single-story off Milton Avenue or in the older streets near Wills Park, simple gable, 22–26 squares, walkable pitch. Cheapest roof in the city to replace: $10,000–$15,500 in architectural shingle.
The Windward two-story. The 3,000–3,500 sq ft brick or stucco traditional that fills Windward, Glen Abbey, Medlock Bridge and the Kimball Bridge subdivisions. Hip roof, 10/12 pitch, four valleys, a chimney, a couple of dormers, 36–45 squares. This is where roof replacement cost Alpharetta homeowners actually pay clusters: $17,000–$32,000 in architectural, and most land between $18,000 and $30,000.
The Milton estate. 4,500–6,500 sq ft on Birmingham Highway, in White Columns or in Country Club of the South. 55–80 squares, 12/12 in places, two or three chimneys, copper accents from the original build. $26,000–$56,000 in architectural and considerably more in a designer line.
Replacement by size
| House | Roof size | Architectural | Designer line | Standing seam |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2,000 sq ft ranch, simple gable | 22 – 26 sq | $10,000 – $15,500 | $13,500 – $22,000 | $27,000 – $52,000 |
| 2,600 sq ft two-story, hip | 30 – 36 sq | $14,000 – $24,000 | $19,000 – $32,000 | $36,000 – $72,000 |
| 3,200 sq ft two-story, cut-up | 36 – 45 sq | $17,000 – $32,000 | $23,000 – $42,000 | $43,000 – $90,000 |
| 4,500 sq ft Johns Creek or Milton custom | 50 – 60 sq | $24,000 – $42,000 | $32,000 – $56,000 | $60,000 – $120,000 |
| 6,000+ sq ft estate | 65 – 90 sq | $32,000 – $63,000 | $42,000 – $85,000 | $78,000 – $180,000 |
The per-square rate behind the table is $450–$800 for architectural shingle with tear-off, synthetic underlayment, membrane, new flashing, ridge vent and cleanup. Alpharetta sits in the upper half of that range more often than not, because the roofs are steeper and more cut-up than the houses they cover suggest. Three-tab is roughly 15% less and not something we install; the HOA usually will not have it anyway.
Repairs
| Job | Range |
|---|---|
| Pipe boot and surrounding shingles | $250 – $450 |
| Wind-lifted or missing shingles, small area | $300 – $800 |
| Ridge cap or ridge vent after a storm | $350 – $900 |
| Skylight flashing kit | $400 – $900 |
| Stucco kick-out or dormer flashing | $450 – $1,100 |
| Valley re-lay with membrane | $500 – $1,200 |
| Chimney step and counter-flashing | $600 – $1,500 |
| Decking, per 4x8 sheet | $90 – $150 |
| Emergency tarp | $300 – $700 |
| Soft-wash algae treatment | $400 – $900 |
A single visit is usually $300–$1,500. Once a repair on an 18-plus-year-old roof passes about $2,500, we put the replacement numbers next to it so you can decide with both in front of you. Our post on repair versus replacement works through that call.
What pushes a quote up
- Pitch above 8/12. Staging, harnesses, slower crews. Most of the city qualifies. Add 10–20%.
- Cut-up roofs. Each valley, dormer, skylight and chimney is flashing work. A Country Club of the South hip roof with three chimneys costs more per square than a Downtown gable and should.
- Rotten decking. $90–$150 a sheet. A valley that leaked for five years can hide six or eight sheets. We quote an allowance and show you every sheet we replace.
- Shingle line. Heavyweight architectural adds $50–$120 per square; luxury profiles $150–$300 plus labor.
- Metal accents. A standing-seam porch or bay during the replacement adds $2,500–$7,000; copper more.
- Access. Pools, tight side yards, gravel drives on Milton acreage, gated communities with delivery windows.
- The calendar. Prices hold year-round, but after a big storm the wait for a non-emergency replacement stretches to three to six weeks.
The 2026 cost post goes further into each of these.
Comparing quotes
A roof estimate Alpharetta homeowners receive that undercuts the others by $4,000 has left something out. Check that each quote names, in writing: full tear-off; synthetic underlayment; where the ice-and-water membrane goes; the shingle line and its wind class; six nails per shingle; a per-sheet decking price; new flashing including stucco kick-outs; ridge vent; who handles the HOA submittal and any permit; and the manufacturer and workmanship warranties in years. If a line is missing, ask. If the answer is vague, you have your answer.
Paying
Insurance covers sudden wind, hail and tree damage, never age. Roof financing Alpharetta roofers offer is normally a manufacturer program at 12 to 60 months. A home equity line is often the cheaper way to fund a $25,000 roof. We give you both sets of numbers and do not push either.

Metal Roofing →Questions we get asked
How much is a new roof for a 3,000 sq ft house in Alpharetta?
Figure 35–45 squares of steep roof, which puts architectural shingle at $16,000–$32,000, a designer line at $22,000–$42,000, and standing seam at $42,000–$90,000, all with full tear-off. A clean hip roof lands low in the range; add dormers, a second chimney and a 12/12 pitch and it climbs.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a roof?
Repair when the roof is under about 18 years old and the trouble is at one or two spots. Replace when granules are gone across whole slopes, the south side is bald, or you have paid for three repairs in two years. After that point every repair is rent on a roof you are going to replace anyway.
Do roofers in Alpharetta charge for estimates?
We do not. Repair and replacement estimates are free and written. The only thing we charge for is a formal inspection report, $150–$300, for a sale or an insurance renewal, and that comes off the job if we do the work. A roofer charging for a replacement quote is charging you to sit through a pitch.
