Roofers...?????????
Gotta question for guys who do roofing....
I bought my own gun and did my own roof last year...Now my Neighbor wants me to do his....
At least he's paying 
I figured up he's got 28 square to cover with 3-tab...I think its 10/12 hip style....
What would I charge him if I decided to do this? I never got an estimate on mine, I just got the stuff and did it...Building trades class pays off now and again

$100 per square?? On second thought, that might be kind of high just for the labor. I really have no idea. Just guessing. I absolutely HATE roofing...so I'd find out what it's worth and then charge three times that much!!

$100 a square isnt far off...I saw a website from a contractor in MN $90 per square 
For just lay-down...No tear off...That was $100 a square more

Since I'm no contractor I cant hardly see charging that much...

Go over in CT. with that pitch... about $175 a square (including materails) Stripped roof... about $275 to $300 a square ( all new materails and disposal of old roof). materails are new drip edge,new roof felt ,ice and water protection, shingles, flashing,and vent ridge....hope this helps you.

You may not be a contractor but your back will torn up because this is not easy work.. by the way if you have to strip 2nd layer is worth $50 per square. later,DAN.

Even loading a 10/12 is tough.

I think our roof is a 6/12 or 8/12 and I just about kill myself every year trying to put the Christmas lights up. Luckily I have cat-like reflexes.
Should have never bought that blasted gun!
