Roof costs?

We won a $1000 gift certificate and get 25% off any work we do with a company we met at the HOme Show a few months ago.

They are coming on Sat to give us an estimate. Does anyone know a price range of getting a roof done? I know it all depends on size and probably what you pick. We aren't looking for anything out of the ordinary and we have a cape with an extra room on the back of the house.

A ballpark figure would be great.

TIA!

Re: Roof costs?

Do they have to rip the old roof off or can they put another layer on top? If you have to rip it off, it's more $$$. My mom has a small cape and a detached garage and I believe she paid somewhere around $6,000 (the garage also has a wraparound patio with a roof on it).

I think it has to be ripped off. I believe our inspector said there were a couple of layers on there.

Re: Roof costs?

My mom had hers done last year...she has a lot of peaks and a garage, plus she had to get the old roof ripped off and replaced. It cost her $5000 and included new shutters for the front of the house.

I have a colonial, but a big one with a three car garage. We just went over our roof, (only had one layer on) and paid $6,000.
