text: Re-roofing costs in Atlanta GA ?
  
  I need to a tear of and re-roof of a property I own . The roof is about
  33 squares and is a hipped roof of no more than a 6/12 pitch.
  The 1X6 decking seems oak but there could be a few bad areas as we as
  facia too . What are the typical unit costs labor and materials
  separately for this job ?

  Dr Roof a local roofer just did a house across the street from me in
  Buckhead . The cost of materials should roughly be the cost of the squares
  required which in turn is detmined from the square footage of the roof ,plus
  an allowance for profit on these supplies . The cost per square can be
  easily assessed from a trip to home depot.
  the cost of labor ! well for a relatively small roof on the aforesaid house
  it took about a dozen guys about 2 days + to rip the old roof off and
  install the new . lets say $12/hour per roofer as a rough estimate so on
  that basis labor would be about 12* 12* 16 [2 days at 8hr per day] $2304.
  So I am guessing the roof ran about $3500--$4000.......my guess mjh

  This is a common error in judgement by the amateur. Of course it will give
  you a cost of shingle material only. It will not give you _all_ the costs
  of materials. For instance, you may price out a $33 per square shingle
  cost, and all other misc. costs involved with installing/haul away will
  easily add up over $100 per square actual cost. You have felt paper,
  water/ice shield, staples for felt, drip edge, boots, flashing (step,
  apron, counter), nails (which run approx. $25 per 18 square for air nailer),
  pot/pod vents for bathroom/kitchen exhausts, ridge vents, haul away/disposal
  cost, special hip/ridge cap if applicable, permit,sealants and a few othe
  misc. cost such as delivery.

  Holy smoly, why in the world would someone do that work for $12 an hour?
  The lawn care companies around here pay their employees that to mow lawns.
  Guess either that is a real rough estimate, or you live in the area where
  slavery is still legal.
  Let's not forget to add in for overhead such as tools,vehicles, insurance,
  sales, etc. etc. Of course some may want someone to pay for all of that out
  of their $12 per hour pay!
