For the last few months I've been getting things lined up in preparation to re-shingle my house. Meanwhile shingle prices have risen to what is probably an all time high. The shingles I'm looking at are $82+/square. I'm not sure the roof can wait a couple months, but what do you suppose shingle prices will be in December? It might be better to deal with snow/cold than fall rains. So far they have not come down with dropping gasoline prices. Supposedly they are going up 7% at the end of the month! What would you do? I'll be buying 27 square. 4 bundles/square.

Thanks, Glenn F.

I worked in a shingle factory and saw how they were made.fiberglass in rolls,asphalt pumped up from a pipeline down at a nearby dock ,different color rough sand and some white powder that I suspect was pulverized fiberglass.The only reason I could think that this stuff would suddenly cost more is fuel transportation cost.The equipment would cost more to run due to a rise in electricity prices.I dont know much about them but it looked to me like Owens-Corning made a pretty good shingle and I have a lifetime supply of fiberglass sheeting from their dumpster.They plant was shut down when I was there and there still was fibres everywhere in the air.

For what it is worth,

I have a friend that works at CertainTeed (manager). He tells me that they are runnin full bore (most headin south) and the raw materials cost has more than doubled (asphalt from under 200 a ton to over 400 a ton). I spec the prices will remain as winter won't have much effect on the areas the bulk of the singles are going....

Where do you live? I'm paying $45 a square right now for my shingles, but location can play a big part in the local cost.

Hi Matt,

Don't you know that subjecting a conspiracy theory to facts is like inviting your mother to your bachelor party---neither the conspiracy theory or the bachelor party will survive the experience, or if they do they won't be any fun anymore.

All the best, Stan

What do you mean "what kind"? There are only two kinds of shows on radio and television in this country: Nonsense and worse nonsense. If you believe you can get unbiased information on the air you're living in a dream.

Granted. But do you believe it?

No. The amount of misinformation, preposterous beliefs, uninformed opinion, and defective reasoning capability I see everywhere practically stupifies me. That's one reason I like to come to this forum. This is one place where a high percentage of contributors actually know what they're talking about.

All the best, Stan

Glad to hear it. There is enough of that liberal hippie talk going around that we don't need to believe it here.

Glad there are more sensible people here.

I would look at the cost of having a metal roof put on the house. When my house needs a new roof, in 4 or 5 years, that's what I'm going to do.
