Most roof replacement falls between $2,215 and $8,638, with a typical figure near $4,374 per job. The low end is a straightforward job with no surprises; the high end covers complex scope, premium materials or urgent timing. Where you are in Illinois can change the detail, so compare nearby quotes. ### What affects the price of roof replacement? Providers price risk as well as work. A job with unknowns costs more to guarantee, which is why two quotes for the same request can differ so much. The specifics vary across Illinois, so confirm them with the provider you hire. ### Is Roofing cheaper in smaller cities? Often, but not always. Smaller markets can carry a travel or availability premium that offsets a lower local rate, so it is worth checking a nearby city before assuming the lowest published figure applies to you. For Illinois, ask a provider to put that in writing with the quote. ### How many quotes should I get for roof replacement? Two or three written quotes are enough to see the real market range. Compare the same scope side by side, and ask each provider what is excluded and what would change the price after the quote is accepted. Providers serving Illinois can tell you how it affects a typical job. ## Keep comparing - [Home Services](/category/home-services/) - [Water Treatment](/illinois/water-softener/) - [Concrete](/illinois/concrete/) - [Heating and Cooling](/illinois/hvac/) - [Electrical](/illinois/electrical/) - [Garage Doors](/illinois/garage-doors/) - [Fencing](/illinois/fencing/) - [Alabama](/alabama/roofing/) - [Alaska](/alaska/roofing/) - [Arizona](/arizona/roofing/) - [Arkansas](/arkansas/roofing/) - [California](/california/roofing/) - [Colorado](/colorado/roofing/) - [Connecticut](/connecticut/roofing/) - [Delaware](/delaware/roofing/) - [District of Columbia](/district-of-columbia/roofing/) - [Florida](/florida/roofing/) - [Georgia](/georgia/roofing/) - [Hawaii](/hawaii/roofing/) - [Idaho](/idaho/roofing/) - [Illinois](/illinois/roofing/) - [Indiana](/indiana/roofing/) - [Iowa](/iowa/roofing/) - [Kansas](/kansas/roofing/) - [Kentucky](/kentucky/roofing/) - [Louisiana](/louisiana/roofing/) - [Maine](/maine/roofing/) - [Maryland](/maryland/roofing/) - [Massachusetts](/massachusetts/roofing/) - [Michigan](/michigan/roofing/) - [Minnesota](/minnesota/roofing/) - [Mississippi](/mississippi/roofing/) - [Missouri](/missouri/roofing/) - [Montana](/montana/roofing/) - [Nebraska](/nebraska/roofing/) - [Nevada](/nevada/roofing/) - [New Hampshire](/new-hampshire/roofing/) - [New Jersey](/new-jersey/roofing/) - [New Mexico](/new-mexico/roofing/) - [New York](/new-york/roofing/) - [North Carolina](/north-carolina/roofing/) - [North Dakota](/north-dakota/roofing/) - [Ohio](/ohio/roofing/) - [Oklahoma](/oklahoma/roofing/) - [Oregon](/oregon/roofing/) - [Pennsylvania](/pennsylvania/roofing/) - [Rhode Island](/rhode-island/roofing/) - [South Carolina](/south-carolina/roofing/) - [South Dakota](/south-dakota/roofing/) - [Tennessee](/tennessee/roofing/) - [Texas](/texas/roofing/) - [Utah](/utah/roofing/) - [Vermont](/vermont/roofing/) - [Virginia](/virginia/roofing/) - [Washington](/washington/roofing/) - [West Virginia](/west-virginia/roofing/) - [Wisconsin](/wisconsin/roofing/) - [Wyoming](/wyoming/roofing/) - [Ontario](/ontario/roofing/) - [Quebec](/quebec/roofing/) - [British Columbia](/british-columbia/roofing/) - [Alberta](/alberta/roofing/) - [Saskatchewan](/saskatchewan/roofing/) - [Manitoba](/manitoba/roofing/) - [Nova Scotia](/nova-scotia/roofing/) - [New Brunswick](/new-brunswick/roofing/) - [Newfoundland and Labrador](/newfoundland-and-labrador/roofing/) - [Prince Edward Island](/prince-edward-island/roofing/) - [Chicago](/chicago/) - [Joliet](/joliet/) - [Naperville](/naperville/) - [Peoria](/peoria/) - [Rockford](/rockford/) - [Springfield](/springfield/) --- These are planning ranges drawn from public price data and market research.
