Why Shingle Prices Keep Going Up — And What You Can Do About It

Why Shingle prices keep going up?

If you’ve recently received a quote for a new roof or tried to price out materials for a roofing project, you’ve probably noticed something frustrating — shingle prices just keep going up.


It’s not just you. Homeowners and contractors across the country are feeling the sting of higher roofing costs. But why is this happening? And more importantly, is there a better solution?


At Fresh Roof, we believe you deserve options. Let’s break down what’s driving these price increases and how our innovative roof rejuvenation technology can help you save thousands — and extend the life of your existing roof.


What’s Causing the Spike in Shingle Prices?

Several factors are fueling the ongoing rise in shingle costs:


1. Raw Material Shortages

Shingles are primarily made of asphalt, a byproduct of crude oil refining. As oil prices fluctuate and refineries shift their priorities, the availability of asphalt becomes tighter — leading to higher costs for manufacturers and ultimately, homeowners.


2. Increased Manufacturing and Transportation Costs

Labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, and increased fuel prices have all added pressure to the roofing industry. Whether it’s shipping delays or higher costs for raw goods, those increases are passed on to the end user.


3. Higher Demand

After major weather events or during construction booms, demand for roofing materials skyrockets. Manufacturers struggle to keep up, and prices surge in response.


The Real Cost of a New Roof

In many areas, the average cost to replace a roof has jumped 25-40% in just the last few years. For a typical home, that can mean spending $15,000 to $40,000 or more on a complete tear-off and re-roof — even if your shingles still have life left in them.


For many homeowners, that’s a tough pill to swallow.


Here’s the Good News: You Might Not Need a New Roof

Most asphalt roofs don’t fail all at once — they simply dry out over time. As shingles age, they lose the natural oils that keep them flexible and weather-resistant. This leads to cracking, curling, and fading. That’s where Fresh Roof comes in.


Our advanced roof rejuvenation treatment restores the color, flexibility, and waterproofing performance of aging shingles — for a fraction of the cost of replacement.


How Fresh Roof Works

Fresh Roof is a powerful, eco-friendly formula that:


  • Penetrates deep into the shingle, replenishing lost oils.
  • Restores original color and curb appeal, making your roof look nearly new.
  • Extends the life of your shingles by up to six years per application.


And it all happens without a single shingle being torn off — no mess, no waste, no disruption.


Save Thousands Without Sacrificing Quality


With shingle prices continuing to rise, Fresh Roof offers a smarter, more affordable path forward. For most homeowners, our treatment costs 80-90% less than a full roof replacement — and delivers powerful protection, peace of mind, and real visual results.


Whether you're looking to buy some time, stretch your budget, or boost your home’s value before selling, Fresh Roof is the practical alternative that pays off.


Ready to Restore Your Roof?



Don’t let rising shingle costs force your hand. See if Fresh Roof is the right fit for your home — and discover just how much life your roof still has left to give.
