I have a small rental in the East Valley that I need to replace the shingle roof.

Shingles need to be changed.3.

Average replacement cost is around $5,900 but can be higher depending on the type and installation complexity.Roof: $10,000 for roof shingles seems plausible, as typical ranges are $6,000-$9,000 for standard roofs.Forced Air (Central Heating & Cooling with new ductwork): Your $18,000 estimate might be insufficient.

As far as the asbestos shingles on it now, be careful with going down the road to remove it. 

I am assuming the following costs:Carpet replacement assuming I would change 60% of the area: $2500Repairing leaks and re-shingling: $6500Changing appliances and renovating both the kitchens: $13,000I will get the inspection done and also would like to include that in the condition.

My goal for this property was to do some exterior cosmetic improvements, including a new roof because my insurance company was being extremely picky about seeing some "loose grit" on the shingles.

Roof could be OK, once the moss is cleared you can walk it and look at the shape of the shingles.

For example, had a large tree branch knock off some shingles and mess up a gutter during a storm.
