How much do you think I would be likely to pay
for a new roof?

1830 square ft.

Well, it depends.

What kind of roof? Asphalt shingles, clay tile, concrete tile, shakes,
composite, metal roof?

What slope (5 to 12, 8 to 12, greater?)

Where in the world are you, and how strong is your currency?

Somewhere between $900 and $12,000, depending.

At least $100..

Or less, if you happen to live in a thatched hut.

The roof that is on it is a shingle and that is what I will probably
go with.

It's steep. I think it is a 40 degree slope.

I'm in the USA in a state called Texas.(you might have heard of it)

The currency is stronger than I am.

I plan to check prices on metal roofs.

The $900 wouldn't be a problem.

Price I had was 4X the price of a shingle roof

I'll probably go with the least expensive option.

The "footprint" of the foundation slab for my house in Northern New
Jersey is 968 square feet, so the roof is about 1000 to 1100 square

In 1996 I paid $2825 to tear off two layers of asphalt shingles, put
on two strips of "ice dam" stuff, and one new layer of asphalt.

My roof measures 61' x 30'. The way I calculate it comes out
to 1830 square feet.

Am I correct?



yes, you are correct...........
providing that is all sides of the roof (61' x 30')
it would cost you aprox. $2500 for a "new" roof
not a tear off.

I could probably handle that.

I heard an add on the radio today where they advertized
roofs that would last 10, 15 and 20 years with the price
depending on which roof I want.

How long do you think I could expect the roof to last
when paying $2500?
