 I don't think it's ever a waste of time to make an offer. 

Apologies if we are (hijacking the thread)- yes- you would have to ADD TAX and as I said- there are variables which I can't know without an inspection. 

 Ok, so I'm shooting from the hip here- guessing it's an elastomeric roof covering. If I'm correct about that and it's mechanically attached (60 ml) you're looking at $4.00 per square foot ($400 per square) and that's just remove and replace the roof-- it doesn't include things like detach and reset of an HVAC unit, etc. or any other components like pipe jacks, vents, flashing, etc. But that's the range you're in.

Cool. I'm an insurance appraiser- I'll throw the basics into my estimating software and give you a round number sometime tomorrow morning. 

Do you know what kind of roof it is? TPO, EPDM, Mod Bit, PVC, etc?

Get me that and a zip code, and I'll get you a good round number.

A lot depends on the market you're in and the expectations of the grade of home a renter or buyer is willing to accept. From a practical standpoint- installation, maintenance, etc.- there's no difference. Tile can be tougher to maintain and repairs (such as the replacement of a leaking shower pan) will cost more. That's about all I can think of off the top of my head.
