I did my roof in NH about two years ago. It was somewhat smaller, I
think only 15 or 16 squares, but I used the same GAF 3-tabs. With tear-
off of the old roof, and new ice dam as required, but no repairs and
no ridge vent needed (I already had one), it was $5600. $8000 for a
little more area and some more added work sounds reasonable.
Did you get a second estimate?
