So, how much is a new roof? ***Updated***
We have a small leak... which I know will lead to a big leak. When we bought the house our inspector told us we had "about 3 years" left on the roof. We've been here just over 4. I guess he was right.
We have a cape w/ attached garage. The current roof is 2 layers. Anyone have an idea what it will cost for a new one? Oh, and then there's the new gutters.
***Update:
Well, we got 2 estimates. One is ~$5000 and the other is ~$7300. Materials are the same. New gutters included in both prices.
Can anyone recommend a roofer? We're looking to get another estimate (or 2) for a better comparison. I'm in Seaford.
TIA!

Expect between $6-10K depending on what you choose.

Re: So, how much is a new roof?
we got a quote for a new roof over our garages (the area is the size of 2 garages). It will be ripped down to the playwood and the plywood replaced, then the new roof put on....for $2500.
Im not sure if its more or less square footage than you are looking at.
We also have a leak in then roof and have to get this fixed before the spring rains!!

At least $5K for a "Plain/simple roof line" roof (no dormers, angles, etc.)

That's more reasonable! I do have more square footage, but even if it's double what you have, maybe I can do this around 5K (which is the magical number I made up in my mind since I know so much about roofing ).

That's what I heard for a Levitt size and style cape... Is your's similar?
ETA: Since you're currently on your second layer...will they have to remove it?

He fixed my roof and was not too expensive. DH worked with his wife at Wamu. I highly recommend him. He has also done work for my in-laws.

WE used King Quality and paid 5000 even. They did our siding too. We were very happen. And we got a high end roof--colored too--our roof is red and black and blue. They did a great job. We only had 1 layer but they had to replace some of the wood on the roof, etc, but it was included in the price. They had 0% financing for a year so we did that and paid it off with NO interest at all..Here is a pic of the work in progress...This was last winter (And dont owrry--they cleans up VERY well) Image Attachment(s):

I live in Seaford too- and we got such a good deal. We have a split- so we have alot of roof. I think its like $4200- we used Pulcini Roofing- and their phone number is 516-221-4110. The family is from Seaford. They are so nice- and they were quick!
