Roofing prices in Dallas

I don't think this goes against forum rules hopefully-can any Dallas investors tell me what you are paying per square for roofing?  Thinking of getting some bids from contractors over there for my Fort Worth property.  Just 3-tab.  Thanks!

typically shingles will run you $20/bundle (3 per 100 sq ft or 1 Square) for lower end, install depends much on tear off and prep or shingle over and prep, we have opted for Steel when ever reasonable to do so, it costs about 10-20% more up front, but will out last me, and does not have Ice damming problems we see with regular shingles in the north. standard shingles, you can expect about 1/2-2/3 the stated warranty actual life span, so 40 year shingles will last about 20 years, but steel, even 40 year has been known to far exceed the 40 year warranty, I can typically get a roof done in steel with a 2 layer tear off, and steel installed for around $4-6K for a 13 Sq roof thats material, labor and disposal, I just has a 11 sq one does with dimensional shingles (steel wasnt practical) for $2,700 including tear off and disposal. keep in mind, the cheap guy may not be the best value, there are a lot of hacks out there, and anyone with a pitch fork, a hammer and a nail gun calls them self a roofer.
