Roofing is measured by the square. When a roofing company gives you a estimate and it says the house is 17 squares for example. That means they measured the roof and it comes to 1700 square feet. A square of roofing  is 10'x10' area of the roof. A square equals 100 square feet.

Here is a cheat sheet of roofing prices by the square for a basic home.

We will figure these roofs are 6/12 pitch, doing a roof tear off and 1 story with new metal and 30 year shingles.

• 15 squares (45'x30' roof area) $8,500.
• 20 squares (60'x32' roof area) $11,000.
• 23 squares (60'x30'x18'x28' roof area) gabled house $12,750.
• 28 squares (70'x30'x20x35' roof area) gabled house $15,400.

What Will It Cost To Get A New Roof? Here's A Price Breakdown!

• You can expect to pay $125 - $450 per square (10'x10' area) for the roofing material. (see different kind of roofing materials below)
• A roof tear-off (removing all the old roofing) will cost at least $150 per layer and per square.
• You should expect to pay at least $100 per square for labor to install the new roofing.
• If you have any plywood sheeting that needs replaced figure at least $75 per sheet.
• Drip, Valley, Wall and Edge Metal are extra material that you should check to see if they are on the estimate. All new roofs should include new metal.
• Air vents are a must, they help the house breath and also reduce the risk of mold.

Many roofing companies will ask you for a down payment, don't let this scare you. I would break the payments up into 3 or 4 stages. I think a 1/3 of the total for the down payment is reasonable.

 Not all roofing companies have deep pockets.

Best Roofing Shingles For The Basic Home.

If your roof repair calls for a new roof, laminated 30 year roofing shingles are a great shingle to use. They have a good rating against wind, and if they are installed using 5 nails instead of 4 nails they handle the wind GREAT. Search and connect with roof repair contractors now to secure a spot in the schedule to get your roof repaired as soon as possible. Remember when the cold and wet season arrives, you and many other people will be counting on the roof repair companies to repair all the leaky and damaged roofs in your neighborhood.

What are the best choices for roofing materials?

• Felt and other underlayment systems are used to keep the plywood from drying out the oils from the shingles.
• Snow and Ice Shield are a must if you live in a place where you get a lot of inclement weather.
• One of the beat and most affordable roofing materials is the 30 year laminate architectural roofing shingle. followed by the Presidential type shingle, these are a heavy duty high wind rated shingle for roofs with a pitch of 5/12 or greater. 
• Metal loc-seam roofing, is also a great roofing system. It can have a lifetime warranty on the product and can be in multiple colors. the only bad thing about metal roofing is it can be really loud in a rain storm... 
• Ceramic tile roofing, is a system that is not really for any home. It is best in a dryer climate and the home needs to be engineered to handle the weight of the roofing material. Ceramic Tile Roofing is very brittle. 
• Cedar shake roofing, Yes Cedar is a great looking roof, but it needs to be maintained often, like every 3 years at least. Some HOAs will make you replace your roof with cedar shake roofing or the Presidential roofing system. I would go with the Presidential roofing. 
• Flat roof material, TPO or PVC roofing material is the newest way to roof a flat roof structure. TPO style roofing material has taken the place of torch down roofing. But there is still a need for torch down and hot tar roofing companies.

Roofing systems you should try to stay away from:

• 3 Tab Roofing Shingles, a 30 year laminate architectural shingle is about the same price.
• A Re-Roof - roofing over the top of an excising layer of roofing. (Click here for more on Re-Roofing.)
• Roll Roofing has it's place but not on a normal house.
