For a 2300 sq foot house? How much would you expect to pay?

---

Square footage =/= squares on a roof. Depends on the pitch of the roof as well.

MIL had a tree fall on her roof and now needs a totally new one. No structural damage so she just needs a roof and a chimney cap.

Google is not being helpful.

I own a construction/roofing company. More important that price per square is getting a roofer that knows how to handle insurance claims.

Insurance is paying for it, the last thing you want to do is get the cheapest roof possible, You want a roofer who is going to replace everything, not cut corners.

That being said, a new roof is going to be in the $500 a square range if the roofer is doing it right.

The insurance estimate is %100 percent going to be low, especially since there is tree damage.

Last year I paid 18,000 for 2,200 sq ft with steep pitches.

I just paid $30k for 4ksf of roof.
---you're killing me. Mine will be that size.

I had my roof replaced on a house that size in Baton Rouge around 2022. I didn’t have an insurance claim, it was just due. Red Stick Roofing quoted $40K and seemed disinterested because I was paying out of pocket, everyone else quoted about $22K.
