Cost of a roof for a courtyard villa?

[paulat585]

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a CV that was built in 2004. Trying to figure out what to budget for things that will eventually need to be replaced. This one doesn't qualify for insurance-funded roof replacement. Anyone have recent experience with the cost of this kind of roof? The heated square footage is 1132 plus the garage. Thanks

If you get a good, honest roofer, it should be about $5,000. McGinnis is a good one.

:) An educated guess would be approx. $6500. That's approx. what my neighbors are paying now. Priced by the square (10'X10') I would think yours is about 22 sq. Ask for the price per square when getting estimates. They measure your roof from the office now by satellite.

My insurance just cut us a check for $12500 for 1350 sq ft villa.

Enjoy spending what is left over. :D A number of years ago the back roof of our home up north came down after 3 large wet snow storms within a couple weeks. Fortunately it wasn't over a living area. The insurance company took great care of us and gave us a check for almost TWICE the cost to fix it. They sent out their own adjuster who came up with the price (we didn't even hire a public adjuster). They were quite generous. :D

I would get it done earlier rather than later, if Governor De Santis is serious about his intentions regarding illegals.
Labor around TV. could become rather expensive in the near future!

And this is why insurance premiums are going up!
Know a friend who’s insurance company recently cut a check for over 10K for a patio villa roof!

Agree, and with so called hail damage. Pea size hail don’t damage roof. Any money left over should be returned to insurance company, but I doubt it would trickledown.

We need a roof and just did leg work for you. (Courtyard villa). Range is from $8500 to $12,000. We had 5 quotes. Not expecting return from insurance. We are going with the guy to told us honestly that in Florida sun, a roof is good for 15-20 years. Don’t need a 50 year warranty!!

Any money left over should be returned to insurance company, but I doubt it would trickledown. If someone actually tried to do that, after laughing their a$$ off, the insurance company likely wouldn't have a clue as to what to do with the returned unused money. It would probably go towards a Christmas party for the CEO. :D I once tried to return something to Macy's that they shipped me 2 of and after 5 phone calls and 2hrs of my time I just gave up and kept it. They actually wanted ME to pay to send it back.

I used McGinnis Builders (352-266-9403) 2 years ago and it was around that for 1,286 sq. ft. Excellent work. Got a wind mitigation inspection after that and inspector was impressed with the work. Submitted it to homeowner's insurance company and got a reduction in premium.

:confused: I'm confused again! You posters do know that the sq. ft. of your home has nothing to do with it..... right???

You need to know the square footage of your roof area. My 2/2 CYV is just under 1200 sq.ft. My roof area was/is just under 2200 sq. ft. My estimates were for 22 square of roofing. 2 years ago I paid $5000 for a new roof. The company I went with charged $225 a sq. at the time. Neighbors have had the same company do it in the past couple of months and they are paying around $6800 :ho:

The poster quoted $8500-$12000 IMHO should insist on being kissed first! :oops: But if they're happy that's what counts. :popcorn:

The cost for your roof should be around $320 a square. Any price much less means corners are being cut, much more means you are being gouged. A square is 10x10 area and pricing must include waste. Your roof probably qualifies for insurance replacement, most I see in The Villages do.
