Any one experienced what a new reroofing costs ?
sure have, but it only cost me about 3 grand to re-roof my house as it's my trade.
the price is not so much covid, welcome to oil company greed...
in the last few yrs our material costs have skyrocketed, as pretty much all our materials are petro based. with the price of fuel going up all the time our suppliers are telling us to not put estimates out for more than a month or so cause they don't know if they can honor the prices that long.
and ya, there are apps, but no good roofer will give a price without going up on the roof. there is just too many variables for a price, and it gives the roofer an idea if there is any rot or "special" details.
you wouldn't believe how many people think we can just give a price over the phone.
want a rough breakdown of the price?
looking at roughly $7000 for your materials, and less than a grand for tipping fees for disposal. not being from your area and knowing your labor costs that leaves the rest for labor and profit. your paying around $400 a sq for your roof, which is about average for a single layer tear-off
despite the price remember this, the value of the roof is about 5% of the cost of your house, but it covers 100% of your investment...
