Mark P Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 This beautiful house was built in 1928 and is 6000 Sq Ft to include the finished basement. The seller is having the old slate roof replaced with a new slate roof. She has already contracted the work to begin later this month. Take a guess at the cost to replace this slate roof.

Welmoed Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 My WAG would be in the neighborhood of $60K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghentjr Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Around 100k give or take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I'd say about 800K = or - depending on structural repair work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 $250,000. In 06', a quote came to me for a slate replacement job via my hurricane work with the SBA. That quote was $110,000 for under 2,000 SF of roof. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I can't guess. What will become of the old slates? There must still be life left in a lot of that roof, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjr6550 Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I was going to guess around 60k, but since Welmoed guessed that, I go with 65k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Where'd the slate come from? Can't know anything about the cost until we know about the slate and the accompanying flashing details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Don't have a clue, too many unknowns as other have noted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Slightly north of the median home price in my market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 According to the current owner $104,000 is the cost for replacement. I did not get any details on the materials, I have the feeling she would not know or care anyway. People with this kind of money just want it to look good (first) and not leak (second). I'd like to get a hold of some of the material being removed. I could put it on my shed, make a bird house, coasters, all sorts of little projects.

mjr6550 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Yesterday I inspected a house that is about 2800 S.F. They had a new slate roof installed 5 years ago. Vermont type slate, paid for by insurance. The owner said he thought the cost was somewhere between 150 and 180K.

MarkBrandon01 Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Interesting topic. Guessing game, huh. I guess it would be around more than $80-100k.. And it all depends on the materials and the person who'll be working with it. [:-dunce] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow1 Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Can't say. It depends on the structural repair work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
