   Budget Estimates  2008   

  For Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement 

The following estimates of costs are for comparison only. 

Also, please adjust these numbers by any materials price increases. Please expect at least a 15% to 30% increase in these cost numbers, as asphalt prices had increased significantly through the second and third quarters of 2008, as well as recent Canadian versus US currency exchange rate increases. ( We will update the following values soon).

The roof being torn off and replaced is an existing asphalt shingle roof of 25 squares ...2500 square feet of roofing materials to  be re-roofed including the bundles calculated and required for caps and starters. A simple or typical roof would require 22 squares of field area materials and 3 squares of starter shingles and ridge caps...thus equaling the 25 squares total.

Note: A square is a roofing term for 100 square feet of roofing materials applied, and normally the total quantity of squares must factor in additional squares (more bundles to install) related to ridge capping and starters. ( see... Glossary of roofing terms. )

The following budgets include tear-off, disposal, roofing materials, application labour, and contractor's business profit, all based on typical roofs and details in the Greater Vancouver market. There will be additional costs associated with Built-In-Gutter requirements, steeper roofs, more complicated than average roofs, additional layers to tear off roof, poor access for disposal container, etc.

In all circumstances, please call one of our "Good Guy" contractors for actual on site roof inspection and estimate. For information on why to use alternative products see "Re-Roofing Ideas".

The following material estimates and information are based on the opinion of an experienced local consultant... on normal "median" bids for a typical residential wood shake re-roof in the local region, calculated in Canadian Dollars. Life expectancies are are based on opinion as well, as to reasonable life expectancies in our region, as opposed to the "inflated" levels that warranties are driven to by ALL manufacturers in the Shingle and Tile Roofing Industry, due to "marketing aggression" :

See Also: Cedar Shake Re-Roofing Budgets ... a more comprehensive material list is included. Generally, to arrive at the cost of           re-roofing from asphalt shingles, deduct $150 average per square off the cost shown for re-roofing cedar shakes.

Please allow for price escalation of roofing materials during Spring, Summer, and Fall of 2008 that is estimated to be around 25 to 35% this season. Blame it on petroleum cost escalation to the shingle manufacturers, as well as possible greed from these same shingle manufacturers. The labour probably did not go up to the same extent, so a 15 to 25% increase in "installed" roofing is probably more accurate depending on current US Dollar currency exchange rates.

Material and information based on the opinion of an experienced roofing industry local consultant.

Please consult with bidding contractors directly for specific prices and bidding required to complete your specific roof details. All contractors are entitled to reasonable profit for services rendered, and the risks and costs associated with roof removal, replacement, installation, and follow-up services. The above charts are based on surveys of what a selection of local roofers normally charge for basic roof styles. Different styles and pitches of roofs will create variances at times from the above calculations. So will material and labour price changes that occur from time to time, especially plywood costs which are known to have excessive fluctuations in market price.

If you are trying to print the charts above, try selecting each individual chart, choose landscape mode in your print setup, and it should fit width wise on a single sheet.

All information is proprietary and is not to be used for commercial purposes without permission, and may used solely for budgeting purposes only on your specific roof project.
