I agree 30 yr shingle. I might still be living here anyway. But if you
think it's going to cost 2k to take the old roof off how much should I
budget for the new roof? I'm guessing you think 3k won't cover it.

No, budget at least 5,000 for the roof and thats if there is no damaged
under structure. I paid about that for a similar sized house (with quite a
bit of the plywood having to be replaced) in 2001. The difference would be
the damage to the plywood (caught mine just in time). If none, you may get
away with that figure.
