I am in the middle of roofing my house, and my helper bailed on me this weekend. I called a local contractor to come and give me a quote to finish. There are about 12 squares left on a 9/12 pitch roof. There are four roof vents and 2 jacks that have to bee roofed around. There are also two layers that have to be removed. Fairly simple, right?
The quote using all of MY materials was $2800! That is about $235 a square, just for labor. When I was roofing about 5-8 years ago, we would get around $50 a square including the tear off.
Have the prices gone up that much? Maybe I should get back into roofing. I called my helper and her was able to come yesterday and the two of us got half of it done in one day. I figure at $1400 a day, I will take a day or two off of regular work.
