New roof costin El Paso
Outside sources put a new 2,000 square foot asphalt shingle roof at about $6,000 to $20,000 in Texas, with the middle near $9,000 to $15,000.1 Those are not Lifetime's prices; for a real number on your house, start with a roof replacement inspection.
What outside sourcessay it costs
Four published ranges cover a 2,000 square foot roof in Texas, the nation, and El Paso. They disagree, and none of them is a price for your house.
Outside ranges, not Lifetime's prices
HomeAdvisor, Fixr, and HomeQuoteHQ are lead-generation sites that match homeowners with roofers. The fourth range is a roofer's own marketing page, so it shows what that company quotes, not what El Paso charges.
The nearest thing to a neutral source is Cost vs. Value, a yearly survey by Zonda for the Journal of Light Construction. It is national, and its 2025 asphalt shingle job cost $31,871 on 30 squares.5 That is about a 3,000 square foot roof, so it doesn't compare with a 2,000 square foot one.
Short version. No neutral El Paso figure exists, so treat every range here as a starting point and a written estimate for your roof as the only price.
A 2,000 sq ft houseis not a 2,000 sq ft roof
Roofers price by roof area, counted in squares of 100 square feet each.1 A single-story house often has more roof than floor, because of the overhangs and the pitch.
Fixr's 2,000 square foot row, for example, assumes about 2,000 square feet of roofing on a 1,700 square foot home.2 HomeAdvisor's size table runs from $4,500 to $15,000 at 1,500 square feet up to $6,600 to $22,000 at 2,200.1 Check which one a range means before you compare it to a bid.
What pushes a newroof price up
Size, pitch, the old layers, the deck, and the material do most of the moving. The outside sources put numbers on several of them:
- Tearing off the old roof: about $50 a square, and about $50 a square more for ice and water shield.2
- Shingle removal: $1 to $5 per square foot. Decking repair: $2 to $5 per square foot.6
- A steeper roof costs about 10% more.6
- Rotted decking or asbestos removal is extra, and HomeAdvisor says to budget for both.1
- Material: architectural shingles on a 20-square roof run $9,000 to $15,000, against $13,000 to $36,000 for metal and $14,000 to $20,000 for concrete tile.7
The Roofing Brief that publishes the material figures covers Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, and says El Paso is too small a market for the Cost vs. Value report. Its metro numbers are "only a guide" here.7 Metal gets its own ranges in the metal roof cost guide.

A roofing company in El Paso can't give you a real number without looking at the roof. Lifetime Roofing of El Paso does the inspection free, and its crew, not a subcontractor, does the work. The written estimate is free too, and it reaches you within 48 hours of the inspection.
