Michigan Roof Cost
I was getting insurance quotes and the company said I need to replace the roof. I've never replaced one and wondering if you can give me a ball-park figure. It's a 1000 sf ranch. Assume tear-off and no repairs needed.
Thanks
Bryan H. I just had an 800 sq. ft. house done for $2,200. I think there was a total of 10 sq. to do that house, maybe 11 with slop factored in. You'll want to expect some plywood replacement. When I priced out Hansons and Mr. Roof they were at $4,500 to $6,000.
With a hip roof I would anticipate you could get it done for $3,000 - $3,400 all in.
Thanks Geof Greeneisen. I was thinking a little less than $3k, but didn't know for sure.
I know Hansons and Mr Roof would be expensive, they spend so much on marketing they have to get it back somehow.
Who did you use?
Roof sizes are measured in "squares." A square is a 10x10 section, or 100 square feet of roof. While it's tough to estimate from a picture (at least for me), I'm going to guess that roof is about 12-14 squares.
In Wisconsin, typical roof tear-off and replacement is $250-300 per square at retail pricing. Find a roofer who is accustomed to working with investors and you can get it closer to $200-220 per square.
Not sure if Michigan is the same as Wisconsin, but they're in close proximity, so perhaps...that would put you at about $2500-3500, give or take...
Note that at current prices, roof material is about $100-110 per square for materials alone up north.
I can't see this roof costing 3K. Call me if you want a contact. They just did mine and I'm happy with them. 22 squares, 3 layer tear off, all new osb & flashing with a 8x10 torch down for 6K
I got 2 quotes so far and I'm quite disappointed. First one was from a retail type home improvement place, promised me wholesale pricing. Came in at $4763 for 14 SQ. The 2nd one is from my property management go-to guy for repairs. He came in at $5300!
Clearly I'm not talking to the right people. @Joe Delia I spoke to your guy, but I'm nervous he won't come through. Anytime a contractor 'loses my number', good things don't happen. I am crossing my fingers I get a price from him soon.

Thats funny. Call the office and have them facilitate everything. 586-486-4370.
You have to micro manage them a bit but they give a great price and did my 20 sq full resheet job in one day for 6K. Oh and it was a 3 layer tear off.
