Get a written quotePlank decking instead of plywood is common in this era, and it's the reason a quote must price decking replacement per sheet up front. Most homes predate 1980, so many are on their third or fourth roof and code limits on layers become a real constraint at tear-off. Attic heat is the silent killer of inland shingle roofs; temperatures above 140°F cook asphalt from underneath, and ventilation is the line item most quotes skip.
On cost: a full replacement on a typical single-family home runs from the low five figures for architectural shingle to several times that for standing-seam metal or concrete tile — the pitch, number of layers coming off, and decking condition move the number more than square footage does.

How it works
Usually, and sometimes dramatically. Ask the quote to include the documentation your carrier needs — in Florida that's a wind mitigation form, in Texas it's the impact-rated shingle certification.
Aerial measurement gives square footage, pitch, facets, and ridge/valley/eave lengths to within a couple percent. A roofer still confirms decking and flashing details on install day, and the quote states what would change the price and by how much.
