Sawdamizer Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Fucking contractors... I need roof work done and these lazy fucks can't even get estimates done in a week. I'm gonna hire some Amish mother fuckers soon. Two contractors said they wouldn't work on slate... Worthless fucks. Anyways, in my day...

SwimModSponges Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I can get you an estimate in like three minutes if you're paying for it. It's going to be a bad estimate, but I'm willing to throw all sorts of numbers out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwimModSponges Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) All right fine, I'll estimate the whole damn project. So figure you're doing a roof- you said slate so It's going to be a shingle job, so that's almost definitely residential. I'll shoot for a medium to large house/apartment building, average pitch I suppose... 1,500-2,000 square feet. Split the difference and say five bucks per square foot- upwards of $7,500 for the material, then labor costs... Again, that's estimating that you're looking for a whole-roof re-shingle. If it's just patchwork, well not knowing anything about the damage I'd probably estimate the size at maybe 100-300 square feet maybe? Again, no idea how extensive it'd be. That'd get us to around $500-$1500 material costs, call it a... four hour, two-man job? Construction union/competitive market wages.... $299 lets say. Let's cast a really wide net and say anywhere from $1,000 to $1,900 size dependent. Edited August 15, 2018 by SwimModSponges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
