Anyone have any thoughts on the cost of reroofing in order to evaluate
some estimates? In New England.
Currently I need to have new roofing 21 x 21 hip roof garage which
needs new shingles.
Remove old stuff, 30 yr shingles, new roofing paper, new drip caps.

Your particular choices can have a 20% or greater effect on the price,
and much more than that if you choose an expensive shingle. There's a
factor of 5 in the range of shingle prices.
Such choices as felt weight, whether you replace the drip edge & step
flashing, whether you add stain guard, whether you have ridge vents,
the quality of vent flashing & roof jacks. In Texas, if you want the
roofer to carry workman's comp on his workers it will increase the
cost of labor a lot.
If the decking under the roof is in bad shape it can have a big effect
on cost -- the price of plywood just shot up after the hurricane.

Oh yes, I'm in Houston. My bids averaged about $150 a square (100
sq-ft). Eighteen months ago a similar house across the street cost
20% less than the bid I got last week from the same roofer.
