How Much Should I Expect to Pay for a New Roof?
Asked by R0ofG0uru92
I'm considering getting a new roof for my house, which has about 1900 square feet of roofing. I need to tear off the old shingles and put on new ones. Can anyone share what you're paying or have paid for a similar project?

Not sure about your area, but you can usually look up building permits, which can give you an idea of estimated costs for roofing jobs. Just a heads up, though, cash prices and insurance estimates can vary a lot, especially in places like Florida.

I’m actually getting my roof done next week for a 2000 sq ft single story and it’s going to cost me $12,000. I think that's a pretty solid deal!

Definitely get several estimates from trusted roofers. My experience with a larger roof has shown a huge price range; we saw quotes from $15,000 to $38,000! It's crazy how much it varies depending on the company and the work needed.
FixItFelix13: I got three estimates too, ranging from $15k to $17k. They're going to remove some really old metal roofing and add new decking, plus my house has a section that's pitched, which might be why it's a bit higher.
BudgetBobby22: Yeah, the price differences can be wild! It's quite a leap from one estimate to another.

CuriousCathy67: That's a good price! Just to clarify, is your roof really 2000 sq ft? And is it pitched?
MattyTheBuilder56: Did you include new decking or plywood with that price? Just curious since it can significantly affect costs.
