Hi,
A foofing Contractor I contacted suggested a new roof for just half the roof of an investment property. He said it will cost $3,800 just to do half the roof and that the other half is in a better condition. should I ask him to replace the entire roof or does it actually make sense what he suggests? also, it’s in Ontario Canada - is the price reasonable for half the roof of a single family 1600 sq. ft. house? THANKS.

      What? Call another contractor, and see what they say. Doesn’t sound right.

      I would say it seems high, but then I think everything is high and do it myself. In Ontario, a properly aligned roof would get a lot more sun on the south side and probably a lot more wind and cold on the north side and so it might be reasonable to only replace half. I am assuming that by half you mean one side from the peak down, not the lower half or upper half all the way around. Get some other bids and see. I would expect that half a roof would cost somewhat more than half the cost of the whole roof - no matter how much you take down and put up, you still have to bring trucks and equipment out and get set up and haul away.

      For the new owners besides it right his so called logic id like to know how 12 its all the prices comparative would they contracted with my worst enemy ask other 12 of the.
      For get several estimates before deciding which contractor word of mouth is always the best way to know how.

      For roof that small uou would do better to the other half is not far behind would do better to the other half is bad now to replace it all at one time if half is bad now to replace.
      The other half is bad now to the point of replacing the other half is not far behind would.
