Notes

  • Where the number comes from. The national price for a full asphalt shingle roof replacement is $560 per square — installed asphalt shingle pricing published for 2026, $3.50–$10.00 per ft² of roof. Labor is about 60% of that. Roofers near Greenville, MS average $45,280 a year against a U.S. mean of $58,140 — a factor of 0.779 — so the labor half is scaled by that and the material half is not. Source: BLS does not publish a metro figure for roofers near Greenville, MS, so this is the Mississippi state average, SOC 47-2181.
  • This one falls back to a wider average. BLS did not publish a metro-level wage for this trade near Greenville, MS, so the figure above is a state average. It is still the right order of magnitude, but a local bid carries more weight here than it would in a large metro where the survey has more responses.
  • Ice barrier required. Greenville designs to 9°F, so IRC R905.1.2 ice barrier applies — two courses of membrane at the eaves, typically $60–$120 per square added.
  • What is in the price: tear-off of one layer, synthetic underlayment, architectural shingles, starter, ridge cap, drip edge, nails, disposal and labor.
  • What is not: decking replacement, chimney or skylight flashing rebuilds, structural repair, and permits. These are the lines that turn a $9,714 quote into a $12,142 invoice, so ask about each one before signing.
  • Use this as a bid check, not a quote. It prices an average job in average condition. Difficult access, the state of what is being replaced, the season, and a crew booked out three months all move the real number, and none of them are in a per-unit average.

Why the city changes the number

About 60% of this job is labor — $5,828 of the $9,714 above. Labor is the only part that moves locally; a bundle of material costs what it costs wherever it is nailed down.

Roofers near Greenville average $45,280 a year, against a U.S. mean of $58,140. That is a factor of 0.779, so the labor half is scaled by it and the material half is not.

The lines that turn a quote into an invoice

Ask about each of them before you sign. On a job this size they are the difference between $9,714 and something a quarter higher.

Use it as a bid check, not a quote

This prices an average job in average condition. Access, the state of what is being replaced, the season, and a crew booked out three months all move the real number, and none of them are in a national average.

If a bid lands outside $6,591 – $15,611, that is not automatically wrong — but it is the question worth asking out loud.
