Whatever anyone paid for a new roof two years ago is meaningless now. Building materials are going through the roof (no pun intended). Many contractors will only give estimates that are good for two days since there is so much uncertainty in the supply chain. I am now wishing I replaced my roof last year instead of waiting, my saving account certainly has not earned a fraction of the increased cost of a new roof. Oh well, hindsight is always 20/20.
