Cost to Replace a Roof in Minot, ND (2027 Price Guide)
Reprice this page for your own roof in Minot, ND
Not sure of the pitch? Most ranch homes sit low; a roof you cannot walk on, such as 9/12 and up, adds safety gear and labor. This page starts North Dakota at 7/12.
In Minot, ND, a typical 2,180 sq. ft. single-story house needs about $12,930 to $19,710 for a new asphalt shingle roof, old shingles off and hauled away. We get there from roughly 26.7 squares of roof (2,671 sq. ft.) pitched at 7/12; one layer comes off, and labor plus materials are in the number.
Per square - the hundred-square-foot unit every roofing bid uses - this job lands at $590.23 installed. If you want architectural 50-year shingles instead, plan on $14,370 to $21,900; metal opens at about $27,820 with steel shingles.
That is about $30 above the statewide figure of $12,910 to $19,670, a typical Minot premium for labor, permits and insurance. Minot covers 4 ZIP codes in Ward County; roofers based anywhere in that area usually quote these prices.

Price per Year of Roof
The real cost of a roof is price divided by the years it lasts. Hover a bar: metal costs more up front and less per year.
Service lives follow the climate-bell model above (asphalt peaks in moderate regions; metal assumes correct installation); prices are the Minot, ND estimates above.
What Pushes a Minot, ND Roof Quote Up or Down
Most of the spread between roofers comes from a handful of line items. For a 26.7-square roof at Minot, ND prices:
- Layers to remove. One layer costs roughly $3,780 to take off. Older homes sometimes hide a second layer, which adds near $2,450.
- Design. Simple gables are the cheapest to cover. Figure about $1,560 more for a hip roof, or about $2,640 more when dormers and valleys cut it up.
- Second story. Roofers charge about $1,120 more for this roof on a two-story home - longer ladders, more trips, more setup.
- Skylight work. Budget about $360 for every skylight replaced or added during the re-roof.
- Roof deck. Ask every bidder for a per-sheet plywood or OSB price. It turns the biggest unknown on the job into a known number.
- Accessories. Ridge vents, pipe flashing and drip edge belong in the scope. If the gutters are due too, run them through the gutter cost calculator.
- Fees. Permit cost and debris hauling change from town to town. The quote should name both.

How North Dakota Weather Ages a Roof
North Dakota's winters average highs near 20°F and lows near 1°F; summer highs average about 83°F. On our climate map below, that puts it in Region 1. Below are the stresses that matter most for a North Dakota roof, and what to ask for because of them.
Ice dams. A ridge of ice at the gutter line is a symptom of attic heat, not of bad shingles. The re-roof is the time to add ice barrier at the edges; the attic insulation and air sealing fix the cause. See the attic insulation calculator and the roof heat cable calculator.
Hail. Storms here regularly bruise shingles and dent metal. Impact-resistant shingles cost more, but many insurers lower premiums for them - ask your agent before you choose.
Wind. Strong storm winds lift shingle edges and peel back roofing at the rakes. Ask for shingles with a high wind rating and the manufacturer's high-wind nailing pattern.
Snow cover. Roofs here carry snow for long stretches. That rewards a solid deck, good attic ventilation and careful flashing at chimneys and walls, where meltwater collects.
Where Shingles Live Longest: the Climate Bell
Asphalt life peaks in the moderate middle (Region 3) and falls toward BOTH ends of the map above - cold regions destroy shingles with ice dams, hot ones bake them. Note the middle columns: shingles marketed as “lifetime” are good for about 25 real-world years at best - North Dakota is Region 1. Hover any column.
low pitch holds snow and ice - it costs the most years in cold regions
Planning figures from our climate model, for ventilation-correct installs - a baked, unvented attic can take years off any column. Pitch adjusts the asphalt columns only; metal sheds snow at any sane pitch.

Is Metal Worth It in Minot, ND?
A metal roof on a typical 2,180 sq. ft. single-story house in Minot, ND starts at $27,820. The type you pick matters more than the brand, so here is how the main options differ.
- Standing seam: $37,080 to $56,520. One panel covers the whole run from the ridge down to the gutter, so water has almost no joints to find. Roofers like it on low pitches and simple gables. The premium over architectural shingles here is roughly $27,700.
- Steel shingles: $27,820 to $42,400. Aluminum shingles: $30,760 to $46,890. The look of a regular roof with the life of metal. These pieces work on steep or complicated roofs. Steel resists dents; aluminum resists corrosion.
- Stone-coated steel: $37,860 to $57,720. Steel panels covered in crushed stone and shaped like clay tile or wood shake. The texture hides hail marks and softens rain noise.
- Copper: custom quote only. Copper has no price in our tools: each job is a custom quote, and it runs well past standing seam. In return it can outlive the house. Use it where people will see it, like a front porch or a turret.
Shingle roofs in North Dakota often fail at the eaves first, where ice builds up and water backs in. Metal is slick, so snow lets go before that ice ridge can form. The edge stays sound, and the roof can go two or three times as long as asphalt.
Owners who stay put get the most from metal, because the long service life is where the savings sit. The metal roof calculator prices each panel style separately.

Roofing Season in Minot, ND
Asphalt needs warmth to seal, and winter highs near 20°F rarely provide it. Aim for late spring through early fall, and line up quotes well ahead.
After a big storm, out-of-area crews go door to door. Before signing, confirm liability and workers' compensation insurance, a local address, and any license your state or town requires.
Membrane Roof Costs in Minot, ND
Low-slope sections need a sealed membrane instead of shingles. Priced across the whole 2,180 sq. ft. footprint, a membrane roof in Minot, ND costs:
- EPDM rubber: $17,620 to $22,880. Old-school rubber roofing, and still a fair choice. It takes a hailstorm and a hard freeze in stride. The dark color soaks up sun, so it fits best where nobody lives right under it.
- TPO, 60-mil: $15,160 to $19,690. The bright white membrane on many new commercial and home flat roofs. Hot-air welded seams turn the sheets into one skin. Pick it for a sunny roof over living space.
- PVC, 60-mil: $18,330 to $23,810. PVC is the one to pay up for when the roof works hard: a deck with chairs on it, a grill, a corner that never quite dries. Its welded seams and chemical resistance outlast the cheaper sheets there.
TPO is the budget choice on this roof, and PVC sits at the top of the range. We count new insulation board and one stripped layer in every row. Expect a higher per-square-foot price on a small porch or garage roof. In North Dakota winters, puddles on a flat roof freeze, thaw and creep into the seams. Clear the drains often, and ask for tapered fill at any low spot during the re-roof. Price your exact membrane, insulation thickness and drains with the flat roof calculator.
Snow load and slow melt are the test in North Dakota. Any of the three can pass it if the seams are done right and the water has a clear path off the roof. Ask how the bid handles drains and low corners.

Common Questions About Re-Roofing in Minot, ND
What is the usual timeline for a re-roof?
Plan on a few days at most for an asphalt roof around 2,671 sq. ft. Complex shapes, a second layer or bad weather can stretch it.
Is an old roof covered by my insurer?
Policies pay for sudden events, not aging. Check whether yours pays replacement cost or depreciated value; on a $12,930 to $19,710 roof, that choice decides who pays most of the bill. Look for a wind or hail deductible in your North Dakota policy; it is often figured as a percentage, not a dollar amount.
How do I estimate my roof size?
Measure the area the roof covers, then scale it up for slope. The 2,180 sq. ft. footprint in this guide, sloped at 7/12, grows to near 2,671 sq. ft. - 26.7 squares once overhang and waste are counted. Ask each roofer for their square count in writing.
Should my roofer get a permit in North Dakota?
In most places, a complete replacement needs a permit and may need an inspection. Your roofer should apply for it; a request that you do it yourself is a warning sign.

Quick Answers
Answers use North Dakota averages; energy prices updated October 2026.
What time of year is best for a new roof in North Dakota?
Plan for the warm season. Winter highs in North Dakota average about 20°F, too cold for the seal strips to set on their own, so late spring through early fall is the usual window.
Does a new roof in North Dakota need an ice barrier membrane?
It should have one. With typical winter lows around 1°F, roofs in North Dakota face ice dams, so the membrane belongs at the eaves and in every valley - check the building code for the minimum.
Does metal roofing make sense in North Dakota?
Usually, if you will stay. With winter lows around 1°F, metal in North Dakota sends snow sliding off before it can build ice at the eaves - just add snow guards above entries.
Will a lighter roof lower cooling costs in North Dakota?
Only a little. Winter lows around 1°F mean heating dominates the energy bill in North Dakota; spend first on attic insulation and air sealing.
Can new shingles go on top of the old roof?
Sometimes, if only one layer is on now and local code allows a second. A full tear-off costs more but exposes the deck, so rotted boards get replaced rather than buried.
