I'm trying to put together a budget for a new a/c and roof for my house.
The house: 1700 sq ft, Central texas, 1 story, regular shingle pitched roof. Currently two layers of shingles. With the patio the roof's sq ft is probably about 2000 sq ft.
So far I have $4500 put away for the a/c. The goal for the a/c is $5000 which I *think* is more than enough.
How much should I put away for the roof? I'm guessing $2000 (or more) due to the fact the old roof will have to be removed. Nothing special re: the new roof. Middle of the line shingles. I plan to sell the house in about 15 years when we'd like to cash out and move to a smaller town. Is $2k enough?
Thanks,
