Mid-range here means the reroof most homeowners actually buy: full tear-off and asphalt shingle replacement on a typical single-family roof, disposal included, with up to two sheets (64 sq ft) of decking replacement in the base price. Additional decking prices per sheet. Metal, tile, and slate are the premium rungs of the same job.

The margin is the gap between break even and a typical quote, not a markup we invent. Margins float by trade and city, with most fair jobs at a 15 to 22 percent margin on the bid, about 18 to 28 percent over the cost to deliver. Nobody works for free. Full methodology.
