How much does a roof cost for a 2000 sq home in Durham?

There are some common variables that can increase or decrease the overall price of a new roof. Some of these factors are the following:

1. Pitch of the roof (how steep it is)
   
2. Location of the home/business
   
3. Type of desired roofing material
   
4. Needed repairs such as plywood and other wood replacement
   
5. Tear-off (ripping off old roof), new construction or overlay (putting new shingles on old ones)
   
6. Difficult roof (lots of angles, various pitches or chimneys etc.)
   

For the purpose of this article let's assume you have an easily walkable roof pitch between 4/12 and 6/12. The roofing job consists of tearing off the old roof and replacing it with a common 30 year asphalt shingle. We also install new underlayment, flashing around chimneys, pipes etc, drip edges and pipe boots. Let us also say that the roof has 3 valleys (where 2 sections of roof come together allowing water to drain off the home and into the gutters). This type of roof would be a rather easy job to complete so the overall cost in most cases could be anywhere between $9,500-$17,000.
