How much should such a thing cost? Ballpark figures? War stories? Thanks.

It's highly dependent on area, but the figures I've seen are $100/sq
for tear-off, $100/sq for disposal, and $100/sq for new. The latter
may be higher now. IIRC last time I had mine done it was about
$70/I paid the dump/$70.
War stories? Make sure they re-flash around the chimney. ;-(
Also, get a rare earth magnet on a rope. Your tires will thank you.

Yes.

Plywood replacement should be about $50 *maybe* $100/sheet. It's
pretty easy to do once the shingles are off.

Your quite sounds a little high, but your area may be more expensive
than others. I had mine done when shingles were significantly less
expensive (driven by oil prices) but often disposal is cheaper.

Without seeing the roof, its purely guesswork. Get three or four
estimates from reliable roofers, then you will know. Also, if you living
in a development with similar homes, alk with neighbors to see what
their experience has been.

We just had one replaced, 3,500 Sq. Ft., and paid about $11,000 (well,
insurance did). This was for a "hail-resistant" roof, which gets us a
27% discount on our home-owners insurance premium. The cost
difference makes the break-even period at about 20 months over a
standard roof.
