   Way too general a question.  Tear off or roof over?  If tear off what and how many layers?  How accessible is the roof, an easy drop into a dump in the drive or five million trips over hill in a wheelbarrow?  How steep is the roof, how many stories to the eaves?  Any wood rot?  Cut up, with lots of dormers, valleys and transitions?  What are you putting on, asphalt shingle, three tab or dimensionsal in 25, 35, 40, or more year warranty, cedar shake, slate, tin, standing seam copper, cement or terracotta tile?  What region of the country?  What is the roof sheathing, T&G plank can be tenacious to tear off of and so increase labor?  What time of year in what general weather conditions.  Do you have a beermeister? Are there college-aged female neighbors that tan often?
