That quote is pretty good considering removal, disposal, new material supply and install assuming this is done by a registered and insured business.
Insurance
WCB
Employee contributions
Equipment wear and tear
Fuel
Disposal fees
There is very little profit left over here.
Consider material a fixed cost since you are paying it either way. So you are really only debating the remainder of that quote. Now determine what your personal hourly worth is. If your earn alot, are extremely busy and have no free time, you could be worth $100 an hour or more and taking 2? days to reroof your garage becomes an unreasonable setback. If you work 7 or 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, no other commitments and all your other time is free and you often find yourself bored, then your hourly worth is lower and it may be worth while to tackle it yourself.
I am capable of building a house from concept to turn key yet every time I take on a personal project I regret it because of the lost time. Yet years ago I could never have fathomed paying someone to do anything for me. All depends on where you are at in life.
