I looked at the date to make sure this comment was recent and I was surprised to see that it was posted only a month ago. Where I live architectural shingles arent $65.00 a square. They range from between $90 and $100 a square. If this guy is tearing off and reshingling for a $125.00-$130.00 a square, plus supplying the shingle the he is losing alot of money. So if he does good work, please use him because you are getting a deal.

Not really. The other option is to cut the house price and let the new owner come up with the cash.

I am trying to sell my house and it’s about 3000 sq ft. The Architectural roof will cost me $13,000. That is a lot of money to cough up when you are on a fixed income. Isn’t there something between them and the 3 tab tiles?

30 year “Architectural” or “High Definition” shingles are around $65.00 a square. Felt underlayment is a little less than $20.00 a roll, whether it’s the 15lb roll, that covers 400 sq. feet, or the 30lb felt that covers 200 sq. feet. Other things to consider are metal edging, valley flashing, roof vents. I pay about $65.00 a square to have a square removed and disposed of, and replaced. This is a pretty good price, I live in NE Texas. So, less metal, I pay about $125.00-$130.00 for removal and replacement of each square, me furnishing shingles. Three-tab shingles are a bit cheaper, labor is the same. I use a very good crew of roofers, and use my local lumber yard for supplies. There are more expensive shingles, but, these are the most common and most used.

Jim – Today a new roof costs between $300 and $400 (or more) dollars per 100 sq. ft. The $48/$84 number seems low as it doesn’t likely account for underlayment, flashing, edge metal, etc. If the roof needs a tear off first the cost can be even higher. Good luck.
