What does insurance pay in your area?

A friend of mine had wind damage to his roof. He filed a claim and here are the unit costs they are paying:

Remove, Tear Off, Haul & Dispose of Comp Shingles - $59.79/Sqr. Roofing Felt - 30 lb. - $34.75/Sqr. Drip Edge - $1.65/Ln. Ft. Step Flashing - 7.59/Ln. Ft. 3-Tab - 25 Yr. Comp. Shingle Roofing - $193.76/Sqr. Ridge Cap - Comp. Shingle - $4.37/Ln. Ft. Valley Metal - $4.29/Ln. Ft. Flashing- Pipe Jack - $31.29 Ea.

BTW, the house is a one story straight gable roof with a 5:12 pitch. There are four dormers (2 per side). The roof has as single layer of blue diamond shingles over 30# felt. The decking is 5/8 CDX plywood. The roof is 3600 Sq. Ft.

The building permit will cost $2040.00. The notice of commencement will cost $22 to file. The supplier will charge $175 delivery fee to ground drop the shingles. My crew will have to load the shingles (we can no longer get roof top delivery in our area).

Peter1 - The permit fee is paid to the city or town, not the state. In this case, the house is actually a duplex. Each side is 1800 Sq. Ft. The permit fee is calculated very strangely in this town. There is a non-refundable $500 clean up bond payable to the city for each side of the duplex. Then there is a $100 fee that covers the first $2000 of work performed (per side). Then the fee is $40 per $1000 for each Thousand there after. Some city's charge a plan's review fee. Other's charge an impact fee. This little town prohibits working on weekends; also you can't start work before 7:30 AM or work past 6 PM.

Hi HOP,

That permit fee would enough to cause anyone to walk away from the business, if memory serves you have to be insured to qualify for permits?

So you go all legal and the State hits the registered contractor with a contract tax ????? no wonder Jackleg is the way to go.

Not enough to be bothered about doing them. :silly:

Those would be great #'s here in NC, if you can get reimbursed for the permit.>>>

RandyB1986 - I generally price a jobs like this at $500/Sqr. (We don't do much shingle work. Mostly metal, tile and low slope modified bitumen.) >>>

Thats about 20% more than we get here in Indiana on tear off, everything else looks to be about 10% more than we get......but we dont get no fancy $2040 permit :woohoo:

I now see why some people try to dodge getting permits :silly:

Is this a decent price in your area or cheap? Seems to me like it would be hard to do that job, for them prices when you have $50-60 a square in permits.
