If that's just stripping the old shingles off and placing new ones, you should be looking at around $6-10k.

Is there a lot of rebuilding or something going on around you?

My roof (1200 sq roof deck not house) would've been about 18, but that's because it had cedar shingles under the asphalt. I did it myself for 3 in materials and about 3 weeks of labour. These are all CAD prices.

There are two layers of shingles underneath and that added $600. I have a separate outbuilding (2 car garage but it's a simple hip roof on the house). The lowest estimate we got was $14,500, but it was an outlier.
