Roof cost ROM - Montgomery County MD

Joe F · 01-30-2009, 02:07 PM

I fully realize that there are many variables in roofing so I'm not trying to insult anyones intelligence by asking for a real estimate, just a rough order of magnitude (ROM) (per square). The situation is this: I'm going to look at a potential flip property, it might need a roof. The existing roof is a hip style with 2 valleys and a gable style roof over the garage, I believe there are about 5 or 6 vent penetrations. This would be a tear off and replace using a low-mid grade architectural shingle. For planning purposes how much should I budget?

Anyone know a good roofer in the MD-DC metro?

Thanks

At least 20,000 dollars.

You need 3/4" under the tar paper as well. Nothing less.

This folks, is the exact reason that it isn't a great idea to ask people for budget prices online! That's some mighty expensive roofing at $20,000 per square. The 3/4" sheathing must be needed to support the solid gold shingles.

It's in line with some of his other posts. Way out there.

Pick me up on the way there JohnK. Never done solid gold shingles before though. Do I need to break out my solid platinum hammer for this one?

If it's walkable with just one existing layer of roof, I would figure on $300.00 per square.

I'll ask around about roofers in your area in a couple of the other forums I participate in.
