First to decide is what type of roof you will be installing. Metal,
Asphalt, Fiberglass. As well there are several grades available in most Asphalt and Fiberglass product. These effect the warranty that will be offered. What type of system will you be installing? Prices will vary from contractor to contractor so best to do is reasearch your product first... then ALWAYS get THREE bids for the job. And make sure your contractor and his employees are insured in any case someone falls or is hurt on the job. wrote: What is the average cost of new roof for 2000 sq ft house? (composite) 7k? 10k? |

You'll need about 25 squares, at $50/sq for 30 year shingles that's $1250
plus $200 or so for other materials, the rest is labour. I've seen rates of over $300/sq wrote in message oups.com... What is the average cost of new roof for 2000 sq ft house? (composite) 7k? 10k? |

I've seen rates of over $300/sq You're the first one I've seen, which has been able to quote prices over the internet. I got out of the construction business 4 years ago. I was in roofing for 26+ years. I must say, you're a bit low for quoting "other materials", then again, it shows how many corners can be cut. A sq. ft. structure means absolutely.....zip. You estimate materials by covered area (decking), this varies widely and is dependent on pitch/style/dormers/valleys, just for starters. For instance, you can have a 2000 sq ft colonial with 4/12 pitch, plus an attached 2 car garage. I've done these with approx. 18 square. This is normal gable style. Or, you can have a ranch style 2000 sq.ft., 7/12 pitch, hip roof, have a couple dormers (yes dormers on a ranch). And, run around 32 squares. |

That was not a quote, but a rough guide of material costs based on a lot of assumptions. Here in Canada, Rona charges $5,000 for a 1200 sqft Ranch home with straight gable 4/12, about $4000 profit for a couple days work. |

That was not a quote, but a rough guide of material costs based on a lot of assumptions. It's not even that. They're simply guesses. You have no information from the OP at all that would be of any use in even making assumptions. You don't even know where the house is located. Proceeding to talk about cost numbers based entirely on assumptions is at best misleading. Here in Canada, Rona charges $5,000 for a 1200 sqft Ranch home with straight gable 4/12, about $4000 profit for a couple days work. From the material numbers in your earlier post it seems that you are saying here that labor in Canada is free. Seems rather hard to believe. Profit is what is left over after you deduct materials, labor, insurance, dump fees, etc. R |

If you check the Construction and Repair Data Base, then narrow the search to houses at 2000 square feet, you can look up the cost of a re-roof as recorded for the past 12 months. You can also look up previous years and it gives the inflation factor to use. Seems that if you take the average of the 213,648 houses that were re-roofed, the average cost was $5186.72. |

Who said the house was in the US? It might not even be in North America. I have yet to see anyone ask for a price on a newsgroup that was not using the number for some purpose. If the OP just had a flight of fancy question, and there's no relation to the real world, then your calculations should fit the bill nicely. R |

The thing that boysens my berries is when people actually answer such non-answerable, broad and vague questions with specific numbers and then I feel obligated to reply to point out that it's an unanswerable question.
