Asphalt shingles, 2,000 sq ft of roof in Fort Myers
$8,100 – $18,000

Typical price for asphalt shingles. HomeBlue's Fort Myers cost data puts basic asphalt shingles on 2,000 sq ft of roof (20 squares) at $8,100 to $12,700. A Cape Coral roofer that also serves Fort Myers lists architectural shingles at $5 to $9 per sq ft, or $10,000 to $18,000 for the same roof. Hurricane Ian's surge in 2022 flooded much of the city, and it still shapes how homes near the river are rebuilt.

That range is for 2,000 sq ft of roof, not living space. A 2,000 sq ft one-story home with a garage usually has well over 2,000 sq ft of roof, so use the estimate below for your house.

About 33 squares of roof (3,300 sq ft, including waste).

If a roofer has measured your roof, enter the squares from the quote to skip the size estimate. Permits and decking repairs can add to the total. The full calculator adds pitch, roof shape, and tear-off layers.
