How much does it cost for a new roof on a ranch house?

Answer 1

In the Dallas - fort worth area. The cost of re roofing your house

will depend on the type of roof your have. How steep is your roof.

Is it 2 story or 1 story, how many layers needs to come off, is your

decking rotted or does just some of it need replacing. What kind of

shingles do you want to go back with 20,30, 50 yr shingles. Do you

want to lower your homeowners insurance and use a class 4 shingle?

Answer 2

It depends on the square footage of the roof, the composite material of the roof to be replaced, how many layers are currently on the roof, the composite of the new roof, existing damage to the current roof support system that needs attention, roof angles and pitches, antennas, cables and power lines, the experience of the individual involved, local building codes and the weather.

To roof one layer of 3-1 or architectural shingles over existing shingles without a tear-off with a semi-experienced roofer, and everything else is fine, figure two ten-hour days for every 1,000 square feet of roof.

Add two ten-hour days for a shingled roof tear-off, roofing felt installation, and flashing application.

Add another ten-hour day for any repairs to the roof support system.

If you are inexperienced, hire a professional. Roofing is usually rated as the single most dangerous contruction job.
