A roof replacement is one of the most expensive exterior projects a homeowner undertakes, and it returns a smaller share of its cost at resale than curb-appeal projects like a new garage door or front door. This report compiles the cost-recouped percentages, job costs, and resale values published in Zonda’s 2025 Cost vs. Value Report (the 38th annual edition, released September 18, 2025), the standard industry citation for remodeling return on investment, alongside the National Association of Realtors 2025 Remodeling Impact Report. All recoup figures are point-of-sale estimates from contractor cost data and Realtor-estimated resale value, not realized sale prices.
Executive Summary
- An asphalt shingle roof replacement cost a national average of $31,871 and added $21,501 in resale value for a 68% recoup in the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report, corroborated by a state-median average of 67.5% derived from the same report by Fixr (Source: JLC 2025 Cost vs. Value Report; Fixr, 2025).

What the Cost vs. Value Report Measures
The Cost vs. Value Report, published annually since 1988 by Zonda (the data company that owns Remodeling and the Journal of Light Construction), compares the average contractor cost of a defined remodeling project against the resale value real estate professionals estimate it adds. The cost-recouped percentage is resale value divided by job cost. A value below 100% means the project, on average, returns less than it costs at the point of sale. The 2025 edition, the 38th annual, covers 28 projects across roughly 115 U.S. markets and was released September 18, 2025 (Source: Zonda, 2025). The report is a proprietary industry dataset, classified here as Tier 2, but it is the standard citation for remodeling ROI and is used as such throughout this report.
Two caveats apply to every figure below. First, the “resale value” is an estimate provided by real estate professionals, not a realized transaction price, so it reflects perceived market value rather than an audited outcome. Second, the report defines each project to a fixed specification (for roofing, a 30-square tear-off and replacement with new underlayment), so a homeowner’s actual recoup depends on local labor rates, roof complexity, and material choice.
National Roofing Recoup: Asphalt vs. Metal
Asphalt shingle roofing recoups a higher share of its cost than metal roofing in every recent edition of the Cost vs. Value Report, primarily because metal roofing carries a far higher job cost while buyers do not assign it a proportionally higher resale premium. The table below pairs the most recent national figures with the prior year for context.
| Project | Edition | National job cost | Resale value | Cost recouped |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asphalt shingle roofing | 2025 (38th) | $31,871 | $21,501 | 68% |
| Metal roofing | 2025 (38th) | $51,865 | $25,972 | 50% |
| Asphalt shingle roofing | 2024 (37th) | $30,680 | $17,807 | 56.9% |
| Metal roofing | 2024 (37th) | $49,928 | $24,034 | 48.1% |
Sources: 2025 figures from the Journal of Light Construction 2025 Cost vs. Value Report, with the national asphalt recoup independently corroborated at a state-median 67.5% by Fixr; 2024 figures from Zonda’s 2024 Cost vs. Value Report as restated by trade and real estate sources. The primary jlconline.com pages returned access errors to direct automated retrieval and were read through a text-rendering proxy of the same live pages, then spot-confirmed against Fixr’s independent restatement.
The asphalt advantage is structural. In the 2025 report, metal roofing cost 63% more than asphalt ($51,865 versus $31,871) but added only 21% more resale value ($25,972 versus $21,501), so its recoup came in 18 points lower. The same pattern held in 2024, when metal cost 63% more but returned only about 9 points less. Buyers do reward metal’s durability, energy performance, and lower insurance risk in some markets, but the Cost vs. Value methodology captures only the resale-value estimate at the point of sale, not the multi-decade cost savings a metal roof can deliver to the owner who keeps it.
Regional and State Differences in Roofing ROI
The single largest driver of roofing recoup is location. Using city-level figures from the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report, Fixr calculated a median asphalt shingle recoup for each state and found a spread of nearly 65 percentage points between the highest and lowest states. Western and southern states cluster at the top; several Plains and Midwestern states sit at the bottom.
| Rank | State or district | Asphalt roofing cost recouped (2025) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Utah | 86.5% |
| 2 | Nevada | 85.6% |
| 3 | Washington, D.C. | 85.2% |
| 4 | Arkansas | 80.4% |
| 5 | Virginia | 79.2% |
| National (state-median) | United States | 67.5% |
| 47 | Iowa | 41.2% |
| 48 | North Dakota | 35.6% |
| 49 | Kansas | 34.4% |
| 50 | Nebraska | 21.6% |
Source: Fixr, derived from the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report. The Cost vs. Value Report also publishes figures for each of the nine U.S. Census divisions. The table below gives the 2025 asphalt shingle roofing job cost, resale value, and recoup for every division, read from the Journal of Light Construction regional report pages.
| Census division | Job cost | Resale value | Cost recouped (2025) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pacific | $36,391 | $27,742 | 76.2% |
| Mountain | $28,475 | $20,427 | 71.7% |
| South Atlantic | $32,253 | $22,535 | 69.9% |
| East North Central | $29,253 | $20,252 | 69.2% |
| West South Central | $27,116 | $18,478 | 68.1% |
| East South Central | $25,939 | $21,012 | 81.0% |
| New England | $35,701 | $22,346 | 62.6% |
| Middle Atlantic | $37,201 | $21,680 | 58.3% |
| West North Central | $30,693 | $16,650 | 54.2% |
Source: Journal of Light Construction 2025 Cost vs. Value Report, regional pages (Pacific, Mountain, and other division-level URLs), read through a text-rendering proxy of the live pages. The East South Central division (Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee) led at 81%, while the West North Central division (the Plains states) trailed at 54.2%, the same direction Fixr’s state-median analysis shows. The pattern tracks housing demand: in active, supply-constrained western and southern markets, buyers price a new roof close to its cost, while in slower Plains markets a new roof is treated more as expected maintenance than as added value. New England and the Middle Atlantic recoup below the national average despite high job costs ($35,701 and $37,201), because elevated labor costs raise the denominator faster than buyers raise the resale estimate.
One limitation: Fixr’s state figures are medians of the cities the Cost vs. Value Report samples within each state, and some states had limited city coverage, so individual-state percentages carry more uncertainty than the national figure. The direction of the regional pattern, west and south high, Midwest low, is consistent across editions and is the more reliable takeaway than any single state’s exact percentage.
How Roofing Compares to Other Exterior Projects
Within the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report, roofing returns less at resale than the curb-appeal replacement projects that dominate the top of the ranking. The report’s headline finding for 2025 was that exterior replacements occupy 8 of the top 10 spots, led by garage door replacement, but roofing was not among that top tier.
| Exterior project (2025) | National job cost | Resale value | Cost recouped |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garage door replacement | $4,672 | $12,507 | 267.7% |
| Fiber-cement siding replacement | $21,485 | $24,420 | 113.7% |
| Vinyl siding replacement | $17,950 | $17,313 | 96.5% |
| Vinyl window replacement (10 windows) | $20,091 | $13,766 | 68.5% |
| Asphalt shingle roofing replacement | $31,871 | $21,501 | 68% |
| Wood window replacement (10 windows) | $24,376 | $14,912 | 61.2% |
| Metal roofing replacement | $51,865 | $25,972 | 50% |
Sources: garage door and siding figures from Zonda (2025); window figures from getwindowcost.com citing JLC 2025 CvV; roofing figures from the JLC 2025 CvV report. The ranking shows the core resale truth: low-cost cosmetic upgrades recoup more than 100% because a $4,672 garage door visibly transforms a facade for little money, while a roof, though essential, is a large cost that buyers expect to be sound rather than a feature they pay a premium for. Asphalt shingle roofing (68%) lands just above vinyl windows (68.5%, essentially tied) and ahead of wood windows (61.2%), but below both siding categories; metal roofing sits at the bottom of the exterior list on a recoup basis because of its high job cost.
Realtor Perspective: NAR Remodeling Impact Report
The National Association of Realtors and the National Association of the Remodeling Industry publish a separate dataset, the Remodeling Impact Report, that surveys Realtors and consumers rather than contractors. Its cost-recovery estimates are lower than the Cost vs. Value figures because of different methodology, but its findings on demand and satisfaction add context the contractor data does not.
- A new roof was estimated to recover 37% of its cost at resale in the 2025 report (Source: NAR/NARI 2025 Remodeling Impact Report).
- New roofing earned a Joy Score of 10 out of 10, tying the top satisfaction tier with a primary-bedroom-suite addition and a kitchen upgrade (Source: NAR/NARI, 2025).
- 43% of Realtors reported increased buyer demand connected to a new roof, second only to kitchen upgrades at 48% (Source: NAR via GlobeNewswire, 2025).
The NAR 37% recovery figure and the Cost vs. Value 68% figure are not contradictory so much as different questions. NAR asks Realtors to estimate the share of a project’s cost recovered as a discrete resale gain, a conservative measure, while the Cost vs. Value resale estimate reflects the value attached to a defined project specification. Both datasets agree on direction: a roof is essential and high-satisfaction, but it is not a high-margin resale investment.
Roof Replacement Cost Ranges
Cost recoup percentages are only meaningful against a job cost. The figures below anchor typical 2025 to 2026 contractor pricing for the two roof types and align with the Cost vs. Value job-cost ranges.
| Roof type | Installed cost per square foot | Typical total range | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Architectural asphalt shingle | $5.00 to $7.00 | $15,000 to $30,000 | Bill Ragan Roofing, 2025 |
| Standing seam metal | $8 to $39 (avg midpoint ~$23,485 on 1,000 sq ft basis) | ~$18,000 to $34,000 on a 2,000 sq ft roof | This Old House, 2025 |
These ranges are wide because asphalt pricing depends on shingle grade (three-tab versus architectural versus premium) and metal pricing depends heavily on the metal itself, from steel at the low end to copper at the high end. The Cost vs. Value job costs sit toward the higher end of these ranges because the report specifies a full tear-off, new underlayment, and a defined roof size rather than the least-expensive possible job.
Original Synthesis
The following insights are derived only from the verified public and industry datasets cited above. Each states its logic, inputs, and limitations.
1. The asphalt-over-metal recoup gap, quantified
Logic: recoup percentage equals resale value divided by job cost. Inputs: 2024 Cost vs. Value national figures (asphalt $30,680 cost / $17,807 resale / 56.9%; metal $49,928 cost / $24,034 resale / 48.1%) and 2025 figures (asphalt $31,871 / $21,501 / 68%; metal $51,865 / $25,972 / 50%). Result: in 2024 the asphalt-over-metal gap was 8.8 points; in 2025 it widened to 18 points. The widening is driven by asphalt’s recoup jumping from 56.9% to 68% between editions while metal moved only from 48.1% to 50%. Limitation: the year-over-year change partly reflects a change in the report’s defined job scope, not only market movement, so the absolute recoup levels are more comparable within an edition than across editions.
2. A roofing-ROI regional index
Logic: rank the 2025 state-median asphalt recoup figures and group by Census division. Inputs: Fixr’s state-level 2025 dataset. Result: the top quintile is dominated by the Mountain (Utah 86.5%, Nevada 85.6%) and South Atlantic (D.C. 85.2%, Virginia 79.2%) divisions, while the bottom quintile is concentrated in the West North Central division (Nebraska 21.6%, Kansas 34.4%, North Dakota 35.6%, Iowa 41.2%). A homeowner in the top-quintile states recoups roughly four times the share that a Nebraska homeowner does. Limitation: state medians are built from limited city samples and should be read as directional, not precise to the tenth of a percent.
3. Roofing’s rank among exterior projects
Logic: order the 2025 exterior projects by cost recouped. Inputs: 2025 figures for garage door, siding, windows, and roofing. Result: of seven exterior replacement categories, asphalt roofing ranks fourth (essentially tied with vinyl windows) and metal roofing ranks last, behind garage door (267.7%), fiber-cement siding (113.7%), and vinyl siding (96.5%). The takeaway for sellers: if the existing roof is sound, dollars spent on a garage door or siding return more at resale than a roof replacement. Limitation: this ranks projects on resale recoup only and ignores condition. A failing roof can block a sale entirely or trigger buyer credits, so its practical value to a seller with a worn roof is higher than its recoup percentage implies.

Methodology
Source selection prioritized the Cost vs. Value Report as the authoritative remodeling-ROI dataset and the NAR Remodeling Impact Report for Realtor-side context. The primary Cost vs. Value pages on jlconline.com returned access errors to direct automated retrieval, so the national and nine regional roofing figures were read from those same live pages through a text-rendering proxy and then spot-confirmed against independent restatements: Fixr corroborated the national asphalt recoup (state-median 67.5% versus the report’s 68%) and the top region (East South Central at 81%). Comparison-project figures came from Zonda’s own press materials (garage door, siding) and getwindowcost.com (windows), each citing the 2025 report. The 2024 national roofing dollar figures appear consistently across multiple trade restatements and are reported as 2024 (37th annual) data. Where earlier drafts found conflicting window percentages (73.4% and 75.5% were regional or loose roundings), the national 2025 figures of 68.5% (vinyl) and 61.2% (wood) were used. No recoup percentage in this report was invented or calculated from assumptions; all are published Cost vs. Value or NAR figures retrieved from a real source. Last updated: June 30, 2026.

Data Limitations
- The Cost vs. Value resale figures are Realtor estimates of value added, not realized sale prices, so they reflect perceived rather than transacted value.
- The primary jlconline.com Cost vs. Value pages were not retrievable by direct fetch, so the 2025 national and regional roofing figures were read from those same live pages through a text-rendering proxy and cross-checked against Fixr’s independent restatement.
- State-level recoup figures are medians of limited city samples and should be read as directional.
- The NAR 37% and Cost vs. Value 68% recovery figures use different methodologies and are not directly comparable; both are reported, with the difference explained.
- Year-over-year roofing recoup jumped from 56.9% (2024) to 68% (2025) for asphalt, partly reflecting a change in the report’s defined job scope, so cross-edition comparisons should be read with caution.
- Cost ranges for roofing vary widely with material grade, roof complexity, and region and are anchored to named industry sources rather than presented as fixed prices.

Press Summary
A new roof is one of the largest exterior projects a homeowner can take on, and it returns less at resale than nearly every cheaper curb-appeal upgrade. In Zonda’s 2025 Cost vs. Value Report, the 38th annual edition, asphalt shingle roofing recouped about 68% of its cost at resale nationally, while metal roofing recouped about 50%, a gap driven by metal’s much higher job cost rather than weaker buyer interest. Recoup varies sharply by location, from 86.5% in Utah to 21.6% in Nebraska, with western and southern states recovering the most and Plains states the least. By comparison, garage door replacement recouped 267.7% and fiber-cement siding 113.7% in the same report, placing roofing in the middle of the exterior pack. The National Association of Realtors’ 2025 Remodeling Impact Report rated a new roof a perfect 10 for homeowner joy but estimated only 37% cost recovery, and 43% of Realtors reported a new roof lifting buyer demand. The data points to a consistent conclusion: a roof is essential and highly satisfying, but it is maintenance buyers expect rather than a premium feature they pay extra for.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much of a roof replacement do you get back when you sell?
Asphalt shingle roofing cost $31,871 and added $21,501 in resale value, a 68% recoup, nationally in the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report; the 2024 edition put it at 56.9% (Source: JLC 2025 CvV; Zonda 2024 CvV).
Does a metal roof return more than asphalt at resale?
No. Metal roofing recouped 50% in 2025 versus 68% for asphalt, because metal’s $51,865 job cost is far higher without a proportional resale premium (Source: JLC 2025 CvV).
Which state has the best roofing ROI?
Utah led at 86.5% asphalt recoup in the 2025 dataset, followed by Nevada at 85.6% and Washington, D.C. at 85.2% (Source: Fixr, 2025).
Which states have the worst roofing ROI?
Nebraska was lowest at 21.6%, with Kansas at 34.4% and North Dakota at 35.6% in the 2025 dataset (Source: Fixr, 2025).
What is the national average roofing ROI?
The 2025 Cost vs. Value Report puts the national asphalt recoup at 68%, corroborated by Fixr’s independent state-median of 67.5% (Source: JLC 2025 CvV; Fixr, 2025).
How does roofing compare to siding for resale value?
Siding returns more: fiber-cement siding recouped 113.7% and vinyl siding 96.5% in 2025, both above asphalt roofing’s ~68% (Source: Zonda, 2025).
How does roofing compare to replacement windows?
Asphalt roofing (68%) and vinyl windows (68.5%) were essentially tied in the 2025 report, while wood windows recouped 61.2%, below asphalt roofing (Source: getwindowcost.com citing 2025 CvV).
Why does the NAR report show only 37% recovery for a roof?
The NAR Remodeling Impact Report surveys Realtors and uses a more conservative cost-recovery question than the contractor-based Cost vs. Value Report, so its 37% figure is methodologically different from the ~68% recoup (Source: NAR/NARI, 2025).
What does a new roof cost?
A typical architectural asphalt shingle replacement ran $15,000 to $30,000, or $5.00 to $7.00 per square foot, in 2025 to 2026 contractor pricing; standing seam metal ran roughly $8 to $39 per square foot installed (Source: Bill Ragan Roofing, 2025; This Old House, 2025).
Does a new roof help a home sell faster?
43% of Realtors reported increased buyer demand connected to a new roof in the 2025 NAR report, and the project earned a top Joy Score of 10, indicating strong buyer and owner appeal even though its dollar recoup is moderate (Source: NAR, 2025).
