Home Repair Cost Estimates for 2025

Roofing Costs Overview

Roofing costs are showing a noticeable increase in 2025. For example, installing a new 1,500 ft² asphalt shingle roof now averages about $6,695 (≈$4.46/ft²). This represents an increase from approximately $4.00–$4.15/ft² in 2024. The cost for cedar shingles remains high-end, averaging about $1,088 per 100 ft².

Pricing for Various Roofing Materials

EPDM flat roofs are now estimated at around $7.4–$13.0/ft² (about $740–1,300 per square), which is considerably higher than the 2024 range of $400–$440/sq. The replacement cost for chimney flashing is now about $400–$1,600 on average (≈$1,000 avg), while ridge vents cost approximately $7–$15 per linear foot. Installing a skylight averages around $1,010–$2,816, a noticeable jump from the previous year.

Some key pricing details:

• Fiberglass (3-tab) shingles: 2024 was $400–415/sq; 2025 is $430–480/sq.

• Heavy architectural shingles: increased from $460–550/sq to $500–600/sq.

• Cedar shingles: previously $600–1,200/sq, now $1,000–1,150/sq.

Trends in Roofing

Overall, pricing trends indicate that asphalt shingle and EPDM roof expenses have increased due to higher material and labor costs. Premium materials such as cedar and slate continue to remain costly. On average, 2025 estimates reflect roughly a 5–15% increase compared to 2024, particularly for tear-offs and specialized work (e.g., flashing).

Gutters and Spouts

Increased Costs in Gutter Installation

In 2025, the cost for gutter installation and services has increased modestly. Seamless aluminum 5" gutter systems are now estimated at $13–$35 per linear foot (installed). This represents a rise of about $10–15/ft in costs compared to the baseline of $8–$12/ft in 2024. Prices for gutter cleaning have also increased, with a national average currently standing at about $167 per service, up from $90–200 in 2024.

Table of Gutter Costs

| Item | 2024 Baseline Price | 2025 Updated Estimate |

|------|--------------------|-----------------------|

| Aluminum 5″ gutters (installed) | $8–12 per linear ft | $10–$15 per ft |

| Gutter cleaning (one-trip) | $90–200 per trip | $120–$250 per trip |

Gutter Trends

The increase in materials and labor costs for gutters is evident. New aluminum gutter pricing is now hovering around $12–$15/ft. Cleaning services have become slightly more expensive as the average is now approximately $167 per service due to increased demand and labor costs.

Siding Costs and Trends

Siding prices have also generally risen in 2025. Vinyl or aluminum siding remains the most affordable option, now estimated at $3–$7 per ft² installed. Fiber-cement siding has seen its prices jump to about $5–$15 per ft² installed, an increase from $3–$5 the previous year. The cost of cedar wood shingle siding has soared to approximately $10–$17 per ft² (around $1,000–$1,700/sq), reflecting significant price pressure.

Pricing Table for Siding

| Item | 2024 Baseline Price | 2025 Updated Estimate |

|------|--------------------|-----------------------|

| Aluminum/Vinyl siding | $400–500 per 100 ft² | $500–700 per 100 ft² |

| Fiber cement siding | $300–500 per 100 ft² | $800–1,200 per 100 ft² |

| 4×8′ panel siding | $300 each | $320 each |

| Asbestos siding removal | $3,800+ total | $1,300–3,900 (avg $2,900) |

| Wood shingle (cedar) siding | $400–550 per 100 ft² | $1,000–1,700 per 100 ft² |

Siding Trends

Unfortunately, labor and material inflation have pushed siding costs up, especially in the realm of fiber-cement and real wood siding. However, vinyl and aluminum siding remain relatively affordable at around $3–7 per ft². Specialty removals for asbestos continue to carry high costs per project.

Soffit / Fascia Trends

Replacement costs for soffit and fascia boards have modestly increased. In 2025, aluminum or vinyl fascia boards are priced approximately at $5–$12 per linear foot for both materials and installation, while soffit panels range from $4–$22 per foot depending on the materials used.

| Item | 2024 Baseline Price | 2025 Updated Estimate |

|------|--------------------|-----------------------|

| Vinyl/aluminum soffit & fascia | $7.50–10 per ft | $8–14 per ft |

| Cedar fascia panels | $5–7 per ft | $6–9 per ft |

Soffit and Fascia Pricing Trends

These minor increases in soffit and fascia board prices are driven by material costs. The broader price ranges indicate entry-level jobs remain affordable, while more extensive work will see rising costs.

Exterior Windows & Doors

The costs associated with window and door replacements have risen as well. As of 2025, a standard 24″×36″ vinyl double-hung window is estimated at around $350–$850, a rise from the previous estimate of $300–500. Vinyl casement windows are valued between $400–$950.

| Steel entry door (finished) | ~$1,800+ | ~$2,000+ |

Windows and Doors Trends

Cost increases in windows and doors can largely be attributed to rising material and labor costs. Exceptional options such as insulated garage doors and premium finishes will push these price ranges even higher.

Plumbing Costs

Plumbing costs have similarly fluctuated with market conditions. Some notable averages include:

• Water heaters: Rising from $950–1,500 (40 gal) in 2024 to $900–3,000 in 2025.

• New PVC drain installations showing costs of $250+ currently.
