Is my Roof Estimate on the higher side

[Asim G.]

Hi,

I am working on rehabbing a property in the Phoenix area and we need to replace the roof of the property. The house is a ~1450 sqft home and about ~1200 sqft needs roof replaced. The other ~250 sqft was added later and the roof on it is in good condition. In addition to the home, there is a 2 car garage that also has a leaky roof.

The roofing contractor who was recommended to me has given a quote of $7800 for the following work.

I feel this estimate is on the higher side and am getting second opinions as well as negotiate with this contractor. After reading through the posts on this forum, it appears that typical cost of roof replacement is $300-400 per square. If this is true, then I should be looking at $4000-$5000 for the replacement. Can someone confirm if this is indeed true?

Thanks
