We are in a pretty high-cost area so I am sure we will be toward the high end on a per square foot basis. I realize that lots of factors can affect the price Just looking not to get screwed over. We have a large roof on a rambler (about 2500 square feet of roofing. With moderate complexity -- 1 chimney, 4 vents, and a total of 6 valleys with each under 8 feet long and a moderate slope that is relatively easy to walk on for me at age 40..

It does depend from area to area to be honest Josh. Skilled labor can be easily 20% higher in some areas. Around my parts (also in VA) it is a safe bet that it is going to be 2X what a good asphalt shingle will run you for a hidden fastener, quality standing seam roof and installation. Prices can vary from region to region, but that is just a good rule of thumb in my market. Eric Novotny
