Fair price by job
Full roof replacement (asphalt shingle)
That assumes a 1,600–2,200 sq ft walkable roof with one tear-off layer; steep pitch, multiple layers, or decking repairs add hours.
Plus materials: shingles, underlayment and disposal typically add as much as the labor. Ask for the materials line separately.
Typical labor: 60–100 hours at $38–$71/hr billed.
Leak repair (single area)
That assumes one accessible leak: flashing, a vent boot, or a small shingle section.
Typical labor: 2–6 hours at $38–$71/hr billed.
Roof inspection
That assumes a walk-the-roof inspection with photos; many roofers credit it against later work.
Typical labor: 1–2 hours at $38–$71/hr billed.
