Good roof shingle price per square?

Asked Apr 10, 2007, 12:18 PM — 16 Answers
It's been awhile since I called around. I'm in central Ohio and am told a good price for 25 year 3-tab is $37 per square (material only). Does that sound good or should I keep calling.

(I would not be buying in bulk...probably buying 14-20 squares at a time once every other month or so.)

Thanks!

Rick, according to what I have found, that price is not unreasonable. $30 -$60 is the range. Please read this link. It contains useful info:

Thanks Ruby. Yes, informative but that range includes the lower end 10-20 year stuff.

I'm trying to narrow down for 25 year.

I used to have a good regional price guide in my favorites but now for the life of me I can't find it

I understand what you are saying Rick but that price range includes all, lower and higher durability range of 10-20, 25-30. Initially when I saw your price quote I thought it was a bit high. But, I haven't been involved with purchasing those kind of shingles in a while.

In any event, I will make another attempt to find out. I will look around on line. I also have friends who are still in the business. If I can't turn anything else up, I am sure BallengerB or someone else will stop by to give you their opinions.

My Menards flyer lists $38.37 a square for 25 year shingles. Last time I bought any, I paid a little more for ''free'' roof top deliver. My old body and old truck weren't nearly as old then as now, but didn't think I should abuse them to save a few bucks.

They are getting ready to take a jump in price my contact at the lumber yard tells me, they went up some this week ( price increase from manufactor) and they said it looks like it will be going up again

But yes a good 25 year is around that 35 dollar price, normally around here.

The 4 major manufactures have published 2 price increase per month through Sept. After that it will be retail price for everyone. I see it as high as $80.00 sq by the end of the year for 20 year.
