Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
For a 2,000 sq ft home, the cost of a shingle roof can vary significantly based on shingle type. 3-Tab shingles might range from $7,000 – $10,000, Architectural Shingles from $11,000 – $16,000, and Premium Shingles can cost $12,000 – $24,000+ installed. These figures are based on California-specific pricing examples, but illustrate the wide range of costs depending on material choice.
The 25% Rule in roofing is a guideline for both homeowners and contractors. It suggests that if more than 25% of a roof's surface needs repairs, it's generally more financially sensible and often provides a better long-term solution to consider a full roof replacement rather than attempting extensive patchwork repairs. This can influence your recommendations and project scope.
For a 1,000 sq ft roof, the asphalt shingles alone (materials only) could range from $1,000 to $9,500. When factoring in demolition and labor, the total cost for a 1,000 sq ft shingle roof typically falls between $3,500 to $16,000, depending on the shingle quality and complexity of the job.
Labor costs for shingle installation are often quoted per 'square' (100 square feet). For asphalt shingles, the labor cost per square typically ranges from $200 – $300. For architectural or dimensional shingles, the labor cost per square can be slightly higher, usually between $300 – $350.
In Chicago, the cost of installing asphalt shingle can range from $9.90 to $15.90+ per square foot. This includes both materials and labor, and the final price can be influenced by various factors such as the specific shingle type, roof complexity, and individual contractor rates.
