Is there a WORSE social media than LinkedIn???😭
Looking at a house which roof has multiple leaks due to being flat (has to be replaced). No spot fixing. Anyone has idea about how much will it cost to tear and replace the whole roof in Bay Area? Trying to estimate if I can afford some renovation costs on this home. TC: 200k
If it's a typical flat roof on most homes in SF then somewhere between $10k on the low side and $20k - it can always go higher if you want it to but there's your ballpark
Thanks
Choose asphalt singles no matter how promising any other option seems. Ask whether the person who is writing estimate also works with their hands and whether the company employs non English speaking workers. In my case I liked the guy who came to measure and give a bid but the work was executed by less than expert workers with whom I could not communicate because I did not speak their language.
Nobody here can tell you anything. Get estimates from local contractors. Learn to adult.
If the roof has been leaking for extended periods of time there could be other issues. Spent some time in LA and the place I lived had a 3000 sq ft building footprint. I think that ran 20k with demo, removal and repair of any sheathing that had water damage. Seemed reasonable.
DIY dude. It's always a good idea to also know some other skills.
people asking on fucking blind for roofing costs... whats wrong with you
People trolling on fucking blind. What’s wrong with you? This is posted in a topic called housing. If you’re not interested, don’t view posts in this topic. Go do something better with your time.
Contractors can easily estimate the cost pretty quickly. Get atleast 3 quotes. My experience has been that immigrant contractors have much better pricing. Ping me if you need references in South Bay.
I bought a home with an old roof. Bank wanted me to get the seller to replace the roof before I could close escrow. Seller agreed to do it if I paid for it. We got three quotes, ranging from $4k to $18k.
~$10k
This is very loaded question. There are a number of different kinds of roofs. The most common one are Asphalt roofs. Even within asphalt roofs there are single tab and Three tab roofs. For a three tab roof you can expect to pay anywhere between $175- $300 a square. A square is roughly 100 sq ft of your roof area. Cost also gets added on on what shape of roof it is , whether and how much flashing is needed, if the underlying plywood needs to be changed etc.
Thanks
