What drives the price
- Size and pitch. Roofers price by the square (100 square feet). Steep roofs need more safety gear and time.
- Material. Three-tab shingles are cheapest. Architectural shingles are the common upgrade. Metal, tile and slate cost far more. This Old House budgets $10,319 for a 2,000 square foot asphalt roof.
- Tear-off. Removing one or two old layers adds labor and dump fees.
- Decking. Rotted plywood is replaced by the sheet once the old roof is off.
- Details. Chimneys, skylights, valleys and dormers add flashing work.
