We did ours ourselves and saved a ton.

I cant recall what the Sqft price worked out to, but for about 3000 sqft it worked out to around $3300 with new vents and tar paper.

The work is labor intensive, but really wasnt that bad. 3 of us stripped and resurfaced 3000 sq ft in a day. It was a long day, but really wasnt that bad.

When we did ours, i rented 4 dumpsters from a local company. I used our big telehandler from work, and just lifted the dumpsters up to the edge of the eaves. We would strip the shingles and push them down the roof and into the dumpster. When the dumpster was full, we grabbed another one and kept going. It worked great, just make sure that you use a big enough telehandler to handle the weight of the shingles.

We had two guys laying shingles, and one running around with an air nailer. Worked fine.
