Roof Cost
Just got three estimates for a tear-off roof job ranging from $8,000 to
$13,500. I live in the suburb of Detroit and the estimates are for replacing existing 1 layer of shingles by new 30 yr. shingles. Roof area is 3,200 square ft. with a 8/12 pitch. About 1/2 of the roof area is 2 stories high, the rest is one story. I checked the price for the 30 yr. GAF shingles at Home Depot about $40 a square. So I estimate the material cost to be around $1,500. Therefore much of the cost is in the labor. Is the total cost of $250 to $425 per square reasonable around my area ? Can someone with experience tell me what is a fair price to pay ? I am really surprised about the big difference between the high and the low bids. As far as I can tell the proposals are identical except for the price. |
