We just had our 2,600 sqf single story ranch style reshingled for $7,250.00 in Pearland, TX.
We wanted to self install a metal roof however the insurance company.......would not wait until we got our income tax return back. Price above included removal of old single layer of shingles, up to 2 pieces of plywood to repair any areas needing replaced on the roof, and installation of 30 year shingles to meet coastal county windstorm code with certification. |

My house south of Dallas ran about $5500 with a 30 year dimensional shingle. I forgot the number of squares, but it's 1600 sq ft, medium pitch. I had another quote for $6500.

I believe my post Hurricane Ike replacement ran in the six thousand range.

Any roofers out there? I would like to know how much you are currently charging to strip off the old shingles and replace them with 30 year architectural shingles. Not a real steep roof but I'm no expert. Yes, a new AR would be nice, but at this point a new roof might be nicer. Thanks. 30yr comp should run around $205.00/SQ (Houston area - remove and install) SQ = 100 SF +vents, drip edge, valley metal, chimney flashing Quoted:

That is a pretty small roof (unless your house is 2-story) an average single story roof is about 25SQ (2500 SF) ETA: or is 1600 SF the interior of the home? Because $5500.00 would be about right for ~25SQ roof. |

Thanks folks.
This is the info I need. At $205 per square, the price is down a bit from post Hurricane Ike days and it may be time for me to get some bids. Again, thanks. Bill |

I think they estimated 26 squares. I bought a second solar vent, had them reinstall the first one and add a second. I also had them put ridge vents on. I'm not sure I like how the ridge vents look, but my attic is a hell of a lot cooler so far. I can tell a difference in the house. |

Does it save a decent amount if you strip all of the old shingles and paper yourself? Mine is held down with those huge 2" long staple nails, wtf?

If your house can support them (enough soffit vents) ridge vents are probably the best vents. I am not a fan of a/c power vents as it's hard to know when they stop working unless you are checking them regularly. Low tech is sometimes better.

Removing and hauling the shingles is about ~$40.00/SQ The big problem I see with this is coordination of the replacement. Once you pull of the shingles and felt paper, your roof will leak like a sieve until new felt paper is installed. Most roofers will remove and replace the shingles quickly, a lot of times the same day (or at least get the felt on). |

I like the idea of saving $40 per square by pulling off the old roof myself, but its been 20 years since I replaced a roof myself. So this is a job left to the professionals.
Since this is not an insurance job, I just need to get a quality roof installed within my budget. Thanks for everyone's input. Bill |
