Roof Pricing

Scott D. said:
I tell the ones who only want part of it done that if I only o part, that it voids the 2 year warranty, because we dont really know what has already started to grow that you cant see, and I dont include the gutter cleaning. They will usually spend the xtra 200 bucks for the warranty and gutters. (ps. we do gutters anyways to help the watr/chems flow to the right spots.:D :eek: :D )

Good for you Scott!
No mechanic will warranty a brake job replacing only one rotor or brake shoe, right ?
The Algae starts out almost clear/opaque, then turns green, then Black.
You are correct, we dont know HOW much growth there is up there we DONT see :(
I TRY to get out of partial roof jobs because we feel it is not in the customers best interest.
Plus, all the neighbors remember is Apple "Did" the neighbors roof.
Doing 1/2 assed jobs is a good way to get a bad reputation.

.15c / Sqft for Asphalt shingles.
.20c / Sqft for concrete tile or slate

Then, I charge a little Xtra for gables.

Roofs are either Walkable, somewhat pitched, or steep. For walkables I multiply the SQft by 1.2, somewhats by 1.3, and steeps by 1.4.

2000 sqft living
+500 garage
x 1.3 for a somewhat
x .15c for shingle

= $487.50

And definately no discount for 2 stories. And I charge more for 3 stories.

Doing a 5800sqft somewhat walkable 2 story, w/ 3 car this weekend and im charging $1,300 roughly.

Scott ~ Have these prices changed that much in the last 7 years? If so by what margins?
 
No idea...I sold my business 3 years ago.

I'd probably charge the same today though since expenses haven't changed at all.
 
I find it easier to have a minimum price for roofs. I won't get on a roof for less than $375. Then I raise the price accordingly, due to pitch of the roof, 1 or 2 story, moss or not, gutters or not, etc.
 
There's no wrong way IMO. I just did it that way for uniformity. There were always extras added, like if there were no cutters that would be an up charge, lots of nice landcaping got an up charge, etc...

Always have a published (written) price sheet and provable techniques for measuring and arriving at a price. Most states require this by law and you can get in trouble with the A.G. office if you can not prove this.
