    Yes I figured as much from the “for 3 years ago”, which is totally Danglish, “3 years ago” is enough.

    Sorry, I just found it funny, that I figured a Dane wrote that from the first 3 words.😀

    And yes professionals are really expensive, USD 100k to replace an entire roof doesn’t even sound expensive, if it includes materials, it’s sounds dirt cheap.

    Edit I just checked prices, and apparently you can get a new roof for a 100m2 house approximately 1000 ft2, for about USD 10000.

      In Denmark, the cost equivalent of a roof replacement is 100k UK pounds? That price in the US is so high it shocks the conscience unless you’re talking about a mansion or doing some special kind of roof material like slate and hiring only engineers with advanced degrees as laborers.

        I think I specified USD = US dollar, but that is cheap, our neighbor got an offer of USD 160000 for a house of about 180m2. That was with ceramic tiles, but afaik it’s not that much cheaper even if you chose cheaper materials, I think the cheapest was about USD 120000.

        Edit

        I have been misinformed, I looked up prices and you can get a new roof for a 100m2 house approximately 1000 ft2, for about USD 10000.
