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 Concord, NH estimates above.
The Line Items Behind a Concord, NH Roofing Bid
Most of the spread between roofers comes from a handful of line items. For a 23.6-square roof at Concord, NH prices:
- Tear-off. About $3,660 of the quote pays to strip and dispose of one layer; if the roofer finds two layers, figure another $2,370 or so.
- Geometry. Four-sided hip roofs run about $1,510 above a gable; heavily cut-up roofs with dormers sit about $2,550 above it.
- Second story. Roofers charge about $1,090 more for this roof on a two-story home - longer ladders, more trips, more setup.
- Roof windows. Each skylight in the scope adds roughly $390 - cheaper now than as a separate job later.
- Sheathing repairs. Soft spots in the roof deck show up during tear-off. A per-sheet price in the contract keeps that from becoming an open-ended charge.
- 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.
- Paperwork. Local permit fees and dumpster rental vary; ask each roofer to list them rather than add them later.

What the New Hampshire Climate Does to Roofing
Region 1 on the map, New Hampshire sees average summer highs near 81°F and winter readings from about 29°F by day to 10°F at night. Local terrain shifts these numbers. What that means for materials and installation in New Hampshire:
Ice dams. With winter lows around 10°F, eave ice is the main leak risk. Insist on ice-barrier membrane at the eaves and in every valley, then cut the attic heat loss that starts the melt. The attic insulation calculator and roof heat cable calculator cover that side.
Snow load. Deep, heavy snow tests the decking and framing as much as the shingles. During tear-off, ask the roofer to report any sagging or soft deck so it gets fixed before the new layer goes on.
Freeze and thaw. Winter nights near 10°F followed by sunny days work water into joints and flashing, one cycle at a time. Tight flashing and clean gutters do more here than a premium shingle.
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 - New Hampshire 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.

Metal vs. Shingles in Concord, NH
Metal roofs come in a few families, and they do different jobs. The prices below are for a typical 1,930 sq. ft. single-story house in Concord, NH.
- Standing seam: $35,880 to $54,690. Long panels run from ridge to eave and lock together at raised seams, with the clips hidden underneath. No screws go through the face, so there are far fewer places for a leak to start. On this roof it runs about $26,800 more than architectural shingles.
- Steel shingles: $26,910 to $41,020. Aluminum shingles: $29,760 to $45,360. 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: $36,630 to $55,840. Steel tiles with a coat of stone granules. They are quiet in the rain, hard to dent, and look like tile or shake from the street.
- Copper: custom quote only. We do not price copper, because every copper roof is custom work. Expect it to cost well above standing seam. It is soft, formed by hand, and can last a century, turning brown and then green. Most homes use it on bay windows, porch roofs and other accents.
Shingle roofs in New Hampshire 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.
If you plan to stay a long time, metal can avoid a future re-roof entirely. Short-term owners rarely recover the extra cost. Use the metal roof calculator to price your exact panel type.

Best Season for a New Roof in Concord, NH
Asphalt needs warmth to seal, and winter highs near 29°F rarely provide it. Aim for late spring through early fall, and line up quotes well ahead.
Pricing Low-Slope Roofs in Concord, NH
Shingles need slope to shed water, so flat roofs get single-ply membranes. For a 1,930 sq. ft. flat roof in Concord, NH:
- EPDM rubber: $17,050 to $22,140. A rubber membrane with a long track record. It comes in large rolls, so a small roof may need no seam at all. Choose it where the roof is shaded or out of sight and the winters are hard.
- TPO, 60-mil: $14,670 to $19,050. It goes down in sheets that the crew fuses together with a hot-air gun, so there are no glued seams to fail. A common pick when the flat roof sits over a bedroom or a kitchen.
- PVC, 60-mil: $17,740 to $23,040. The premium white membrane: welded seams, a strong fire rating, and good resistance to puddles and chemicals. It fits roofs that carry foot traffic or hold water after a storm.
On this footprint TPO comes in lowest, EPDM sits in the middle and PVC costs the most. Tear-off of one existing layer and new polyiso board are part of each figure. A small section will price higher per square foot. Ponding water is the main enemy of flat roofs through a New Hampshire winter. Ask for tapered insulation at low spots and clear drains. The flat roof calculator handles other membranes and insulation levels.
Winter lows near 10°F favor a membrane that stays flexible. EPDM handles deep cold well, and welded TPO or PVC seams resist the freeze and thaw that open glued joints. Either way, keep drains clear so meltwater can leave.

Before You Re-Roof in Concord, NH
How do I estimate my roof size?
Roofers measure surface, not floor area. The 1,930 sq. ft. footprint in this guide turns into about 2,364 sq. ft. of roof at 7/12 - 23.6 squares. Different counts between bids are a red flag.
How long does a re-roof take?
Plan on a few days at most for an asphalt roof around 2,364 sq. ft. Complex shapes, a second layer or bad weather can stretch it.
When does a home policy pay for roofing?
If a storm caused the damage, possibly; if the roof simply wore out, no. A replacement here runs $12,510 to $19,070, so know your deductible and settlement terms before you file.
Should my roofer get a permit in New Hampshire?
Usually. Permit rules are set locally, and most require one for a complete re-roof. A licensed roofer pulls it in their own name.

Quick Answers
Answers use New Hampshire averages; energy prices updated October 2026.
What time of year is best for a new roof in New Hampshire?
The warm months. With winter afternoons near 29°F in New Hampshire, shingle adhesive strips struggle to bond, so most crews book late spring into early fall; a cold-weather job needs hand-sealed tabs.
Does a new roof in New Hampshire need an ice barrier membrane?
Yes. New Hampshire averages winter lows near 10°F, cold enough for ice dams. Ask for self-adhering membrane along the eaves, in valleys and around chimneys; local code may set how far up it must run.
Does metal roofing make sense in New Hampshire?
For long-term owners, often. Winter lows near 10°F mean snow and freeze-thaw in New Hampshire; metal sheds the snow and resists both. Plan snow guards wherever sliding snow could land on people.
Will a lighter roof lower cooling costs in New Hampshire?
Only a little. Winter lows around 10°F mean heating dominates the energy bill in New Hampshire; 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.
