Average Cost of Roof Repair

[Peter Philando]

Looking to get an idea for roof repairs in the Montgomery area. Shingle roof replacement cost for a 1500 sq ft house. Is using the house square footage a good way to estimate the roof sqft? What do roofers charge per square (10x10)? Any recommendations for good reasonable roofers in the area?

100 per square, depending on how busy the roofing industry is at the time.  Also, depends on whether or not you have a dumpster for them, or if they haul it off.  Also, depends on how many layers of old shingles have to be torn off.  Material will be about the same as the labor cost, unless you have a really steep pitch.  Architectural shingles will cost more than 3-tab.  A 1,500 sf house will usually have around 22 squares with ridge and starters.

Call Jeff, he has some good roofers that can work under his insurance.
