Does anyone know what I should expect to hear when I a roofer gives me an
estimate on Friday for a new roof. Basically it's 17 square / 20 or 25
year
shingles. It's a cape cod style home that's very straight forward of an
install.

Is it a walkable roof? I also have a cape cod and have been shocked at the
roofing estimates I've gotten lately. $2.25-$2.75 a square foot due to the
pitch. That price incluses tear-off, all materials and labor and clean up in
south Jersey.
