Residential roofing prices

Anybody know a benchmark per square number to use to rough figure to rip off an old asphalt shingle roof and replace with 30 year asphalt shingles?
About 30 squares total, part 1 story, part 2 story, about 60% 8/12 pitch, the rest 6/12. In Metairie.
TIA

Not 100% sure about Metairie but this should be close. In Lafayette it is $225-$250 per square for good, licensed and insured roofer to furnish materials, equipment and labor.

Don't overlook metal roofs. Unless you have and are limited by Homeowner Association, the prices are pretty comparable now.

I deal with roofing almost on a daily basis and I would go with the best architect shingle you can put. Although everyone has their own opinion, I think it looks better on most styles of residential construction as well as having less issues with leaks.
The only metal roof I would put on a house would be a standing seam system and the cost are pretty high. The issues with metal roofs are very seldom with the panels themselves but 90% with the fasteners, transitions and trim.
I get paid when metal is sold, so I'm not biased against metal, just given my opinion based on years in the business.

Insurance paid right about $8k for my old house last year. I am thinking 32 squares, 30 year architectural shingle.

Just had 37 squares put on with 30 yr. Architect shingles, new felt for $7,770

$85 / square if you provide materials. $200 / square if roofer provides them.
