You can confirm with google.

It will cost about $50.00.

It will give you everything you need to do a material take off.

Bring that to a roofing supply place and have them give you a quote.

That will be your material number.

Double that and you’ll get a sense for what the roof will roughly cost.

Lots of variables but that will get you close.

OP said it is a slate roof

What about my response is roofing material specific ?

If you read the original post and not just the title, you would see that OP is material specific and design specific.

If not, then it's way high.

But rich people have to pay more for the same services, just how it is now.

Slate lasts 3-4x as long as asphalt, takes longer and requires more skill to install. It also looks much better.

We're also talking about a Hansard roof and not a regular plain jane slope.

Add all that up and 2-3x the cost of asphalt seems in line.

Asphalt = $15000 or less for OP, so sounds like it's high then according to the 2-3x's range.

Is it in an historic district? Material? Copper flashing? Are repairs extensive, including brickwork?

A bunch of DCUM folks will surely cry “excessive rip off!” without knowing anything - and it’ll only serve to arm you with blind distrust, whether its valid or not.

There is no scenario where a roof on a townhouse costs $70,000.
