Roofing cost

Prices for Highland Slate shingles range between $55 and $61 for a 30-square-foot bundle, while the same amount of Hatteras shingles costs about $56. Both products can be purchased at retail home improvement stores like Lowe's, through online retailers or through local CertainTeed distributors.

The total price involved in a roofing estimate includes more than just the cost of the shingles. You will also need to pay for underlayment, adhesive strips, nails and specialty parts necessary for roofing any odd shapes on your home. If you pay a contractor, the cost of the job will also include labor. Labor costs depend on your location, the size of the roof and the shape of the roof.

Both the Hatteras and Highland Slate products come with a limited lifetime warranty against defects, a 10- or 15-year warranty against algae buildup, and a 15-year warranty against damage by winds of up to 110 miles per hour.
