average roofing cost per square
Type of roofing material matters. According to Homewyse, which provides average costs for home improvement projects, the cost per square foot for a shingle roof is between $5.43 and $7.05. That equates to about $1,086 to $1,409 per 200 square feet (or for two squares). Homewyse estimates the cost and labor for an asphalt roof for a 1,200-square-foot house in larger markets across the country ranges between $4,100 and $6,000.
