Major roof replacements cost 5 to 15k for average homes

I just got some quotes to replace a tile roof on my very average 2400 sqft house in FL: 50-60k. Asked neighbors - seems reasonable to them.

I assume Florida is an outlier due to storms, in most of the country you'd probably pay half that unless your roof is complicated.

That's the asphalt shingle price, tile is pricey.
