Another option is to drive around and catch a few roofers on the job. They may want to moonlight and you could save a few bucks.

Or maybe cost you a lot of bucks.

Try Scott Smith they fixed our roof. TJ he was great

If you don't immediately need a roof, wait a few months and the price will likely be less. Just a thought.....

We went through this after a tornado with hail damage. We waited one year, the price was 35% lower. If you neighbor can wait he will also find this to be true.

We do get hail damage in Northern VA. My home insurance company covers the damage and I got the whole roof replaced with the coverage. We all pay for the premium for years,..check it out.

All roofers will get an "Aerial Measurement" of your roof online. You can do the same thing yourself costs a few bucks. This will tell you the area (# of sq.) how many feet of drip edge, ft. of ridge vent, ft. of ridge cap. and ft. of valley you roof is.

I had a complete tear off and a new roof installed by SACK ROOFING several months ago. The rate at that time was $225 a sq. My roof was 22 sq. and I only needed a small strip of wood replaced. $55 per sheet of plywood.

Didn't pay a dime til a few weeks after job was done. We got copies of Ins. papers from them. They filed all paperwork with the Villages (ARC) and with Sumter Co. Building Dept. who did an inspection and gave us the signed paperwork. When we paid, Sack gave us a notarized Final Waiver and Release.

Certainteed shingles with 30 product warranty and 5 year workmanship guarantee.

Happy camper for $5000.00 +/-:thumbup:

Too much. I am having a standing seam finished metal roof installed on my office for $16,900., which includes a couple of new gutters.

Scott Smith Roofing replaced a roof for us on a house in Lake County for $8,000. I think the house was 1400 sq. ft plus an attached 2-car garage. The price included replacing 6 sheets of plywood and using "architectural" shingles. The girls run the office and they are efficient.

Consider it cheap, in California I did a remodel and decided on a light weight tile roof and when it was all said and done it ran $55,000, tile and labor. If we had tile roofs here it may get ugly if damaged.

the OP needs to determine 1) the number of squares to replace his roof. 2) the unit price (going rate per square)
3) the price to tear out the existing roof 4) any additional charges for debris removal

Roof manufacturers won't admit it but most roofs don't last 15 years. so the 30-40 year warranty is a stretch.
they also won't tell you that statistic tell them people move every 7 years or so . Stats are in mfg favor

$17,000 does seem high

I might add that there is not a one price fits all shingle. Just as there is difference in the cost of a Kia and a Rolls Royce, there are different grades and quality of shingles. There is also a difference in roofing companies. There is Chuck in aTruck who has no liability or workers comp insurance. If Chuck or his employee get hurt on your property, you are liable. There is also a difference between Chuck and a reputable firm. Chuck may be here today, gone tomorrow. A reputable company stands behind their work and guarantee.
