Sioux Falls, SD Roofing Prices: Shingle, Metal and Flat Roofs (2027)
Not your house? Change the size or pitch in Sioux Falls, SD
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 South Dakota at 7/12.
Expect quotes near $11,560 to $17,610 for a standard shingle re-roof in Sioux Falls, SD; that figure assumes a typical 1,910 sq. ft. single-story house. The roof itself measures about 2,340 sq. ft. (23.4 squares) at a 7/12 slope, and the price includes labor, materials and removal of the existing layer.
Per square - the hundred-square-foot unit every roofing bid uses - this job lands at $602.09 installed. The same roof in architectural 50-year shingles is $12,840 to $19,570. Metal begins with steel shingles at roughly $24,860.
That is about $310 above the statewide figure of $11,310 to $17,240, a typical Sioux Falls premium for labor, permits and insurance. Sioux Falls covers 15 ZIP codes in Minnehaha and Lincoln counties; 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 Sioux Falls, SD estimates above.
The Line Items Behind a Sioux Falls, SD Roofing Bid
A cheap bid and an expensive bid often describe two different jobs. On this 23.4-square Sioux Falls, SD roof, these items carry real dollars:
- Layers to remove. One layer costs roughly $3,380 to take off. Older homes sometimes hide a second layer, which adds near $2,190.
- Design. Simple gables are the cheapest to cover. Figure about $1,390 more for a hip roof, or about $2,360 more when dormers and valleys cut it up.
- Height. A second story adds roughly $1,000 to the same roof, because every bundle goes higher and safety setup takes longer.
- Roof windows. Each skylight in the scope adds roughly $360 - cheaper now than as a separate job later.
- Hidden rot. Water-damaged boards appear once the roof is open; settle the per-sheet replacement price in writing first.
- Flashing and ventilation. Reusing old flashing saves a little now and causes leaks later. Gutters are a separate trade line; the gutter cost calculator covers them.
- Permit and disposal. Fees depend on the town. Confirm the bid includes both the permit and the dumpster.

What the South Dakota Climate Does to Roofing
A roof in South Dakota lives in Climate Region 1: about 87°F on a typical summer afternoon, about 29°F on a winter afternoon, and about 8°F on a winter night. The weather above points to a few specific risks for South Dakota roofs.
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.
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.
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 - South 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.

Sioux Falls, SD Metal Roof Cost
Metal is not one product. Long panels, metal shingles, stone-coated tiles and copper each solve a different problem, and the price gap between them is wide.
- Standing seam: $33,140 to $50,520. This is the classic metal roof: smooth vertical panels, fasteners tucked under the seam. It suits simple roof shapes and owners who plan to stay. Over architectural shingles, expect about $24,760 more.
- Steel shingles: $24,860 to $37,900. Aluminum shingles: $27,490 to $41,910. Small metal panels with a shingle or tile profile. They go on much like shingles, so hips and dormers are easier than with long panels. Pick aluminum near the ocean and steel inland.
- Stone-coated steel: $33,840 to $51,590. 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. A copper roof is hand work by a sheet-metal specialist, and it is priced far above standing seam. It never needs paint and weathers to a green patina. Few homes cover the whole roof with it; dormers and entry roofs are the usual places.
With winter lows near 8°F, metal earns its price. Snow does not sit on it long, ice rarely builds at the eaves, and there are no shingles for frost to crack. That adds years to the roof. Put snow guards above entries and the driveway.
Big hailstones may leave dents in metal that still sheds water perfectly. Check the impact rating, and read how the warranty handles purely cosmetic dents. The case for metal rests on how long you will stay. Keep the house for decades and one metal roof can replace two asphalt roofs; sell soon and the premium rarely comes back. For a particular panel or coating, run the metal roof calculator.

When to Re-Roof in Sioux Falls, SD
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.
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 Sioux Falls, SD
A flat roof the size of this home's 1,910 sq. ft. footprint would run, in Sioux Falls, SD:
- EPDM rubber: $15,750 to $20,450. 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: $13,550 to $17,600. 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: $16,390 to $21,280. 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.
TPO is the budget choice on this roof, and PVC sits at the top of the range. Tear-off of one existing layer and new polyiso board are part of each figure. A small section will price higher per square foot. In South 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. For thicker insulation or a different membrane, use the flat roof calculator.
Winter lows near 8°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.

Roof Replacement FAQ: Sioux Falls, SD
Is a roofing permit required in South Dakota?
Usually. Permit rules are set locally, and most require one for a complete re-roof. A licensed roofer pulls it in their own name.
How do roofers measure a roof in squares?
A square is a hundred square feet of roof surface. For this 1,910 sq. ft. footprint at a 7/12 pitch, figure about 23.4 squares (2,340 sq. ft.). Use the same number when you compare bids.
How long does a re-roof take?
Most shingle re-roofs on a house this size (2,340 sq. ft. of roof) finish within a few working days. Extra layers, steep pitch or rain add time; metal takes longer.
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 $11,560 to $17,610 roof, that choice decides who pays most of the bill. Look for a wind or hail deductible in your South Dakota policy; it is often figured as a percentage, not a dollar amount.

Quick Answers
Answers use South Dakota averages; energy prices updated October 2026.
What time of year is best for a new roof in South Dakota?
Plan for the warm season. Winter highs in South Dakota average about 29°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 South Dakota need an ice barrier membrane?
It should have one. With typical winter lows around 8°F, roofs in South 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 South Dakota?
Usually, if you will stay. With winter lows around 8°F, metal in South 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 South Dakota?
Only a little. Winter lows around 8°F mean heating dominates the energy bill in South 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.
