This will be my first cedar shingle re-roof I am giving an estimate for. I’ve done plenty of sidewall but no roofs and those were time and materials. I want to have all the I’s dotted and T’s crossed. But I feel I am too high. I always hate this question so here it goes anyway.
What would you expect to pay/bid per square to strip old cedar roof and remove. Apply No. 1 red cedar 5.5″exp. w/ cedar breather over existing solid deck, 6′ ice/water shield/30lb felt, drip edge, SS fasteners. I am in So. Maine.
It is a small job which should be fairly easy (no penetrations). They are basically 2 small heated sheds. I would need only about 7 square to complete both.

Drive up access!
I could do an easy square a day on that in summer. You might only be able to do half a square a day this time of year. Apply your rate to that and figure your materials, then add OH and profit.I recently got prices from 239/sq up to almost 300 for the red cedar perfections from various suppliers so get comparative prices from your locals.

Thanks Piffin, As I remember you are somewhat north of portland and a good reference for my area.
What you said certainly does justify my bid. I just need to let it go and if it comes back it was meant to be. Sure would like to get my foot in that neighborhood. I just can't afford to cut my price to do it.
You've been here at breaktime a long time! Thanks for keepin the seats warm. It hasn't lost much charm since I was last here!
Thanks again.....
