New Roof estimate - can someone check
folks - I've gotten a roof replacement estimate for my 100 year old house that currently has hard slate. I could of course keep repairing the slate when leaks appear every 2 years in different parts of the roof but it's a little stressful when we are on vacations and I think I'm time for a replacement. Can someone take a look and see if $17,500 is a fair cost in NYC or should I keep shopping around? Roof size approx 2700sq feet
- gaf woodland lifetime designer shingles (gives the slate look similar to what's on the house) - If I choose plain architectural shingles, I'll save 2k
- TPO PVC flat roof over 10x30 extension
- soffit & fascia repair and replace where necessary (some of the soffit wood has gotten rotten and would need to be replaced)
- chose copper valley instead of aluminum (said I'll save $500 if going with aluminium)
- plywood mostly in very good condition because of great original quality of the wood (said I'll probably only need 3 sheets replaced)
- replace downspouts where necessary, maybe he'll replace 1-2
- install cobra ridge vent
