Asphalt 3-Tab Roofing Shingle Cost

Construction Item Description

Roofing estimating unit cost for installation of standard 3-tab asphalt roof shingles (15 year or 20 year warranty).

Unit Size

One square (one hundred square feet).

Labor Costs

We figure a little more than 1 1/2 hours of skilled labor and 1/4 hour of unskilled labor to install one square of straight roofing.

NOTE-- There are additional unit costs for trimming at eaves, adding caps at ridges and hips, flashing valleys, and for steep roofs that require installation of roof jacks. This price also does not include the cost for installing fall barriers or scaffolding.

Material Costs

The cost includes one square of shingles (3 bundles) per square of roof area, with an 8% waste factor.

Suggested Quantity
