1 A 1,700-2,100 square foot roof might cost $17,000-$84,000, depending on the location, the quality of the slate and the complexity of the installation process.2  Synthetic slate roof shingles are made from recycled rubber and plastic molded to resemble natural roof slates. Expected to last 50 years or more, a synthetic slate roof is more lightweight and easier to install, and doesn't damage as easily if walked upon. 2  Installing a synthetic slate roof runs around $7-$9 or more a square foot, or about $11,900-$18,900 for an average ranch house with a 1,700-2,100 square foot roof.
First, roofers charge labor for removing your old roof. A one-story roof with a single shingle layer costs between $100 and $150 per square to remove; a double layer, $115 to $165; and triple layer, $125 to $175. If you have a particularly high roof or one that is extremely steep, you will pay more per square.
