Cost to Replace a Roof in Cheyenne, WY (2027 Price Guide)
Not your house? Change the size or pitch in Cheyenne, WY
A roof's pitch is its rise in inches over twelve inches of run. Steeper roofs like 9/12 need roof jacks and harness work, so they cost more. We assume 7/12 for Wyoming; pick yours above.
In Cheyenne, WY, a typical 2,280 sq. ft. single-story house needs about $13,050 to $19,880 for a new asphalt shingle roof, old shingles off and hauled away. We get there from roughly 27.9 squares of roof (2,793 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 $569.42 installed. If you want architectural 50-year shingles instead, plan on $14,500 to $22,100; metal opens at about $28,070 with steel shingles.
Compared with $12,970 to $19,770 statewide, the Cheyenne market adds about $100. Our prices apply across the 8 ZIP codes that carry the Cheyenne name, in Laramie County.

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 Cheyenne, WY estimates above.
Why Cheyenne, WY Roofing Bids Differ
A cheap bid and an expensive bid often describe two different jobs. On this 27.9-square Cheyenne, WY roof, these items carry real dollars:
- Old shingles. Removing the existing layer accounts for about $3,810 of the price. A hidden second layer adds roughly $2,470 more.
- Complexity. Extra ridges, valleys and dormers cost cutting time and flashing work: roughly $1,570 more for a hip design, around $2,660 more for a busy, cut-up roof.
- Building height. Same roof, two stories up: about $1,130 more, mostly labor and safety staging.
- Skylights. Swapping or adding a skylight costs around $340 each at Cheyenne, WY rates.
- 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.
- Trim items. Chimney flashing, pipe boots, ridge vents and drip edge may or may not be in a bid. Gutters usually are not - the gutter cost calculator prices them.
- Permit and disposal. Fees depend on the town. Confirm the bid includes both the permit and the dumpster.

Same 2,793 sq. ft. roof at 7/12, priced with our roofing and metal calculators at Cheyenne, WY rates. Decking repairs, skylights and gutters are extra.
Line the quotes up side by side: layers removed, underlayment type, ice-barrier coverage, flashing, ventilation and the decking price. The lowest bid often leaves one of those out.
Roof Stressors in Wyoming
Averages for Wyoming: summer highs around 84°F, winter highs around 32°F, winter lows around 11°F. The map below files it under Region 1. What that means for materials and installation in Wyoming:
Gusts. Thunderstorm winds find any loose tab. Ask which wind rating the shingle carries and whether the crew will use the enhanced nailing pattern.
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.
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.
Heat. With summer highs near 84°F, attic temperatures soar. Good ventilation and a reflective cool-roof shingle keep the roof deck - and the cooling bill - lower.
High elevation adds intensity to the sun, so UV wears roofing faster than the temperatures alone suggest.
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 - Wyoming 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.

Pricing a Metal Roof in Cheyenne, WY
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: $37,410 to $57,030. Tall ribs, clips under the seams, nothing exposed to rust or work loose. Wide, plain roof planes show it at its best. Here it costs about $27,950 above architectural shingles.
- Steel shingles: $28,070 to $42,780. Aluminum shingles: $31,040 to $47,310. Short interlocking pieces stamped to look like asphalt, shake or slate. A good pick for a busy roofline, or for owners who want metal without the barn look. Steel stands up to hail better; aluminum stands up to salt air better.
- Stone-coated steel: $38,200 to $58,240. 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. Copper sits above every other metal in price and is bid job by job, so it has no line in our calculator. It is the roof of old churches and city landmarks. On a house it makes the most sense on a small, visible spot or a historic home.
With winter lows near 11°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.
Metal survives hail without leaking, but it can dent. Check whether the warranty and your insurance policy cover cosmetic damage. 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 Cheyenne, WY
Asphalt needs warmth to seal, and winter highs near 32°F rarely provide it. Aim for late spring through early fall, and line up quotes well ahead.
When storm crews arrive, slow down. Verify insurance, licensing and a local address first, and get the full scope in writing.
Membrane Roof Costs in Cheyenne, WY
Low-slope sections need a sealed membrane instead of shingles. Priced across the whole 2,280 sq. ft. footprint, a membrane roof in Cheyenne, WY costs:
- EPDM rubber: $17,780 to $23,090. 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: $15,300 to $19,870. 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: $18,500 to $24,030. 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.
From cheapest to most expensive here: TPO, then EPDM, then PVC. 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 Wyoming 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.
In Wyoming winters a dark EPDM roof picks up a little sun warmth, which helps snow melt off. Drainage matters more: water that freezes in a low spot pries seams apart.

Common Questions About Re-Roofing in Cheyenne, WY
How do I estimate my roof size?
Measure the area the roof covers, then scale it up for slope. The 2,280 sq. ft. footprint in this guide, sloped at 7/12, grows to near 2,793 sq. ft. - 27.9 squares once overhang and waste are counted. Ask each roofer for their square count in writing.
Should my roofer get a permit in Wyoming?
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.
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 $13,050 to $19,880 roof, that choice decides who pays most of the bill. In Wyoming, also check the wind and hail deductible - many policies set it as a percentage of the home's insured value.
What is the usual timeline for a re-roof?
Plan on a few days at most for an asphalt roof around 2,793 sq. ft. Complex shapes, a second layer or bad weather can stretch it.

Quick Answers
Answers use Wyoming averages; energy prices updated October 2026.
What time of year is best for a new roof in Wyoming?
The warm months. With winter afternoons near 32°F in Wyoming, 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 Wyoming need an ice barrier membrane?
Yes. Wyoming averages winter lows near 11°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 Wyoming?
For long-term owners, often. Winter lows near 11°F mean snow and freeze-thaw in Wyoming; 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 Wyoming?
Only a little. Winter lows around 11°F mean heating dominates the energy bill in Wyoming; 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.
