Roofing Contractor suggested doing just half the roof for an investment property. does it make sense?

Hi,
A foofing Contractor I contacted suggested a new roof for just half the roof of an investment property. He said it will cost $3,800 just to do half the roof and that the other half is in a better condition. should I ask him to replace the entire roof or does it actually make sense what he suggests? also, it’s in Ontario Canada – is the price reasonable for half the roof of a single family 1600 sq. ft. house? THANKS.

I would say it seems high, but then I think everything is high and do it myself. In Ontario, a properly aligned roof would get a lot more sun on the south side and probably a lot more wind and cold on the north side and so it might be reasonable to only replace half. I am assuming that by half you mean one side from the peak down, not the lower half or upper half all the way around. Get some other bids and see. I would expect that half a roof would cost somewhat more than half the cost of the whole roof – no matter how much you take down and put up, you still have to bring trucks and equipment out and get set up and haul away.
