For 4000sqft, is $19,000 installed for an average (i.e., not top of the line shingles, but not craptacular either, something with 30yr warranty) product line in the ballpark for cost if you're doing the whole roof, or on the higher end of things?
I had to take a double take at the price when the Sears contractor told me that. Any chance Sears is known to realllllllllllllllllly highball?
I'm almost tempted to do it myself....almost..........
btw, how hard is it to re-roof your own house? I realize it's obviously a very physical job, but if you read up on how to do it and take 2-3weeks off, can you do it yourself with some friends? I asked my dad about this and he was telling me when he did it with his father (back in 1940ish) they were hauling tar up on the roof and all sorts of weird shit. Of course he also refuses to ever drive a bmw because back in 197X somebody told him that in order to change the oil in a bmw you have to remove the engine from the car, lol.
