Both of these houses have architectural shingles.

I think one reshingle is still allowed in most places by code, so the structure
should take the weight. That's for standard 3-tab shingles, probably not the
heavier architectural ones though.
My dad reshingled our roof by himself one time. For the cost of the shingles
and his time, he got another 20+ years out of the roof. At the time their house
was built, they used plywood for the roof deck not OSB so it was still solid.
Was a 4/12 pitch roof also so not too treacherous to walk around on.
If you have a cheap 3-tab shingle roof it's an affordable way to defer the cost
of a full tear-off and re-roof.

No. You want a tear-off and to be able to inspect the decking in case it’s
damaged and needs replacement. Plus, roofing over an existing roof adds weight
to the structure, and newer trusses probably aren’t engineered to handle the
additional load.

Speaking of roofing. Both of these outfits were talking about ripping roof off
and replacing. Do they not just put another layer of shingles on anymore?

The rental is about 2400sqft and this house is close about 2800sqft

I agree, how big is the house? Ours was $6500. I forget when, 4 years ago? We
have a small house though, with a fairly simple roof. The McMansions they put
up today with 6 different roof pitches are going to be expensive to put a roof
on.

Just got the sales pitch on this roof. He says there is some hail and wind
damage but it’s older, as in over a year old. Basically full tear off redoing
the rotted wood on the edges at some places with impact resistant shingles
$36k. More basic deal is about $10k less. Not really sure if it’s going to be
an insurance claim or not as he says it has to be filed within a year. Probably
will end up doing nothing yet. I was really wanting to get a couple of new
roofs out of USAA to return the favor.

The first roofer just arrived and let me know the rental does not appear to
have any storm related damage that would involve insurance, just normal wear
and tear. He is up on this roof now but it does have some missing shingles etc.
Will see what they say about this one.

It’s my understanding from talking to our roofer that it’s regular three tab
shingles, architectural are 2x-3x more, and metal is 5x more.
Of course, it could be the market or code that makes it (more) expensive than
in;other parts of the country, but considering material and engineering costs I
could sort of see it.

The extra cost of metal roofing seems to vary wildly as to how many metal
roofs are being done there. In Maine it seems like everybody is doing a metal
roof and the price is not that much more. Considering the advantages I can see
why everybody is doing metal roofs. In the next 5-10 years I plan to go that
route on the new-to-us farmhouse.
When we had the roof done on our house in MA a metal roof was more than triple
the cost of architectural shingles. Since we don't plan to be there another 30
years we went the lower cost route.

I put a metal roof on my whole house when I did the addition, 50yr roof
at least. Cost was not that much more and you don't have to think about
it ever again

Is this the only continent that uses asphalt garbage on roofs? I just don’t
understand why a roof would be intentionally made to be temporary with all
other options totally unaffordable.

Typically 20 or so depending on the location and climate. It’s been my
experience that insurers will depreciate a roof over 20 years.
So if your perfectly good 22 year old shingles get damaged by hail, do they
just say 'it was time anyway, have fun paying for it yourself'?
