What is the average price on a new roof (Shingles).?

Question

1. This is an apartment building (3unit) (whole house is 3500 sq. feet).
2. Should I tear the old one off, or put on a second layer.

Answer 1

Again, square feet on the roof is what matters, 100 square feet is called a square and three bundles are about a square. I think the last roof I worked on was about $18 a bundle but not sure. Depending on the roof, you may have more or less waste, if you have a lot of hips and stuff you'll want to factor in a fair amount of waste, if it's just a straight shot on either side you'll have less. Usually 10% extra is a fairly close estimate for an average roof, but again that depends. You need to factor in the labor and disposal of the old roof, which is a job in itself, tearing up the old stuff and drying it in takes about half as long as the actual laying of the new stuff, and it's heavy so there's considerable disposal fees, and some places won't take 'construction materials' so find out if you do it yourself. And obviously check on the building codes in your area (like # of nails per shingle) if you're doing it. If you are hiring it out, just get a couple estimates, but my guess is labor alone will probably be well over twice the cost of just materials. But definitely take up the old stuff, the new stuff won't lay very flat if you don't and you need to look for rotten sections in the roof anyways, it may even be necessary with building codes and such.

Price Of Shingles

Answer 4

My dad owned a roofing company and I helped him alot. Are you planning on doing it yourself or hiring someone? Sometimes insurance will pay for it. But anyway take the sq. footage of your house and times it by the going price for a square of shingles. Call your local hardware store, it is normally around 28 dollars a square I think for the basic 20 year shingles. A little more for 30 year. Also factor in a few extra for messups and a few square of 3 tap shingles for edging and valleys. The supplies are expensive and you don't want to have to replace very often so I would recommend you tear them off and replace. Going over never really solves the initial problem. If you have leaks tearing off allows you to see how bad the damage is, we often have to replace ply wood on houses that leak because it is rotted out. Also if you tear off you will need enough tar paper to cover your roof as well. I know you can call a roofer to come out and give you an estimate, that breaks down the cost of supplies and workers fees. My dad gives estimates for free, I would call around your area and see what they offer.

You can have up to 3 layers. I wouldn't recommend it but you can have 3. When you go over your existing shingles though, you have no idea if there is any problems on your roof under what's there now. If the roof looks okay & the shingles on it now are laying pretty flat? By all means put the 2nd layer on it. Save time & money

Answer 6

Now that is kinda tough? there is a whole range of roofs but I guess a standard is maybe around $35.00 to $50.00 a square 1 square covers a 10X10 square ft. area, there are 3 bundles in 1 square. thats about 35 squares of shingles at
$ 50.00 a square thats about $1,750.00 just for the shingles plus Labor at todays prices (guess)
something close to $ 8 - 10,000.00 Bucks
thats a lot of nickels. Now if it's a clay tile roof, I don't even want to guess. Good Luck

In most localities you can legally have a total of three roofs (original plus two overlays). Unless you have severly deteriorated shingles I would overlay a new roof if you have no more than two roofs on there now.

The cost to have a roofing company do this would be about $300/square (100 square feet of roof). Allowing for roof pitch and overhangs I would guess they would want about $12,000. If you were going to do it the cost of shingles would be about $1600 plus roof staples and nail gun rental.

Answer 8

goes by the sq ft of the roof and the type of shingles you are laying down and how many vents, valleys etc , there is a going price including labor as well, ask your local carpenter , check the condition of the old roof, but most of the time it's best to strip

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes). Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sores sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.
The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid—such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.
