I'm a lady living on social security and have
a leaking roof. It's about 38 years old and
there is 2 layers of 3 tab shingle.

can you give me a ball park figure of how
much per square a roofer should charge
including removing the old shingles and
carting them off?

thank you

Around 10 years ago, I was charging at least $200/square for
tear-offs, of which I was happy to get barely $200/day to pay myself.
My crew made better money than I did! Tom

have to watch Pete or Mike nearly as closely as Jim and Dave! But you're right,
I _did_ take it a little easier those days.

Roofing jobs are sized by squares (100sq ft), and Roof construction
and pitch factor in.

For each starter edge, there's a linear feet charge typically, so if
you have more surfaces to shingle rather than just a simple flat a
frame roof, it takes more time, and there's an additional cost.

There are upcharges for steeply pitched roofs as well as they're more
difficult for obvious reasons.

A little ole lady next door had her little Cape Cod in the Chicago
burbs reroofed including tearoff and cartage estimated at $3600. That
was her low estimate. The high estimate was around $8k. This is a
pretty dinky house though, and a straightforward 2-surface roof roof.
