Insight on costs - new roof, new high efficiency heaters

[Mommy2Abby]

Hi - we are in the midst of house searching, and trying to figure out ballpark estimates for the cost of replacing the following which may be necessary in the near future on a couple of houses we're looking at. I realize that cost varies quite a bit based on many factors, but for those of you who have done this recently, can you provide any insight/cost experience? TIA!

- Cost of New Roof
- Cost of New High Efficiency Heater. Some of the houses we are looking at are dual-zone, so figuring this would need to be doubled.

If it helps, we are located in the NE US, but I'm interested in any experiences or thoughts.

Thanks in advance!

My mom just replaced her roof on a 2,800 sq ft house for $11,000. I got a proce on my 1,600 sq ft rental property for around $5,000. We're both in the NE.

The quote on our 1550 sq ft house in Texas was around $5,000 too.

Cost of roof for 1800sq ft house in NE was $7k a couple years ago. Cost of a new high efficiency gas boiler (2zones) was $6600 (but we got a tax rebate.)

:yeahthat:I think our new roof this summer cost close to $11,000 on a 2,800 sq ft house....

6000 sq foot hours -- old house in a historic area -- multi peaked house (several mini roofs) = 17k

Depends on the material used for roofing too.

Replaced 3years ago with 30 yr architectural shingles for a 2000sq ft house and it was 4k.

Replaced roof in 2012, 3000 sq ft. house $8000, know people who replaced at the same time (hurricane) who paid over $20K

Replaced a/c and oil furnace (100 year old house) in 2010 with new gas pack and it was $10K including duct work. This unit only covers our downstairs. Waiting on upstairs unit to die any minute! :)

Oh and just to add to my first post if you need new plywood under the roof it adds a lot. My mom had to do that too and it was $5000 more.

We just replaced our roof last week due to wind damage. It was $7,300.00 for a 2,100 sq. ft. single story house in Oklahoma. It makes a big difference IMO if you're talking single story or two story...it's generally more expensive to roof a single story home than a two story home of the same size.

We paid $8K for a new electric furnace and heat pump in 2010. We shopped around a lot and that was the least expensive!

That makes sense. Because the roof of the two story home would be about half the size of the single story home of the same size.

Our roof was 26 square (2600 sq feet); garage and house combined. No replacement of rotted wood, they used architectural shingles, estimate included ridge vent, flashing, drip edge, and cleanup. We have an uncomplicated roof line-no dormers, not a lot of angles, basically straight up and down on a typical two story colonial w/ a walkable roof.

Estimates were 7K, 7800, and 10K. The 7K estimate was with a well known company in our area with good references and feedback, so we went with them and they did a good job. It took 2 days.

We did it last year.

Thanks so much for the info on all of your experiences...very helpful! I love these boards!

We just bought a new 95% efficient, two-stage gas heater and 16 SEER A/C for around $6000 installed. That included the two units, new duct work, PVC exhaust lines, new refrigerant line, disposal of our old units, and a duct cleaning. We had estimates from several other companies that were as high as $9000 for similar or lesser units.

Oh, we're in Ohio, btw.

$15k for a tall 3 story multiple peaked 1880s Victorian near Boston. Total tear off included new gutters and downspouts. Architectural shingles but no slate, slate look, copper flashing, etc - a very basic job.

New hybrid heating system with electric heat pump/ac, switchable to gas furnace for coldest days: about $8,000 in 2009. One zone, location Virginia.
