These prices are only a 'ballpark figure' which can vary with product selection, location, contractor labor prices and a wide array of other factors. The best way to be more certain of the repair or replacement cost is to get an estimate from a professional licensed contractor.
We are only consultants and do not perform any services. Additionally we are precluded from referring contractors for services.
| Repair or Replaced Item | Approximate Cost |
|---|---|
| Roof shingles applied over an average roof (if possible) | $95- $120 /square (100sq.ft.) |
| Tear-off existing roof shingles | +$55 to $95 /layer |
 |
A= height / vertical
B= ½ width / horizontal C= roof service C x 2 x 1.25 x length = est. total sq. footage |
| use A² x B² = √C² (i.e. A=6' ; B=8') --> 6² x 8² = C (36 x 64 = √100); so C=10 | |
| For the example above a 16' x 28' home with a 6' high gable end is approximately 700 square feet or ÷ 100 = 7 squares. |
