Just got an estimate for a 1900 SF house, but with 3 car garage and roofed over patio the total SF was a
little over 3000SF. $10,200 to remove shingles and start with new paper... 30 year architectural shingles.
I had been anticipating about $7,000 and it came in $10,200. When I questioned this reputable contractor
he said these shingles were $39 per square five years ago and are now $86.

If my memory serves me correct that's about right, $25 to $30/bundle it takes three bundles to make a
square. They went up with the price of crude when it when it hit a peak a few years ago and naturally they
never dropped the price back down. For many years it was nothing to see shingles for $10-12/bundle.
Sorta like motor oil I paid $1/qt. for most brands of Dino oil for 25 years but not anymore.
