How Much Does Roof Replacement Cost in Temple?
Asphalt-shingle replacement in Temple, Texas runs $6,510 to $14,415 (2,000 sq ft, tear-off and underlayment included).

Temple had 82,073 residents per the 2020 census, up 24.2 percent from 66,102 in 2010 -- one of the stronger growth rates in central Texas. Baylor Scott and White Health dominates as the largest single employer with approximately 12,000 employees; McLane Company and Wilsonart International are also major employers. The city serves as a regional medical hub with four major hospitals. This rapid growth in housing alongside an institutional-employer base creates strong demand for both new-construction roofing and replacement work on the area's expanding residential stock.
