Cost of New Roof

[Kevin C.]

Buying a Multi- Family house.  Roof needs to be replaced.  I believe there is a wooden roof underneath and they put Asphalt over it..(lovely).  House has 2 small dormers and its dimensions are 28 X 48…..Roof has 4 slants ..if that makes sense  …(front- back and 2 sides are longer )  I assume I have to take it down to the plywood..etc…  +  Gutters…. 

Trying to get a Guesstimate?

Thanks

Roofing contractors generally need to see the roof,

The height off the ground, pitch, number of ridges, guttering, dormers, number of chimney and stacks all are considered, with tear-offs they want to know if a truck can back up to the building, shrubs can be in the way, do they need a dumpster? If you had a shake roof covered, you may not have decking it might be on stringers, what's the condition and how many layers are there? What's the permit requirement there? What is the replacement roof material that you want?

If you address these matters and have pics, someone might be able to give you a guessestimate. :)
