Unfortunately the answer is...it depends. How many layers, how steep the roof is and the materials you are looking to put on the roof all factor into the cost of the project. However, the average home has approximately 1500 square feet of roofing. If the average home also has two layers and a walkable pitch the price would likely be in the range of $6,000-$8,000.
The typical home can be completed in one day. However the size of the house in addition to the product being installed and pitch of the roof can all extend the length of the overall project.
Depends...New Jersey recently changed its policy to not require a permit for a roof or siding replacement. Other states may vary.

Roofing is a dirty job. The shingles are heavy and a typical roof pitch causes the shingles to fall from the roof when removed. As a result, a good roofer will take precautions to protect your home to the best of their ability. However, it is impossible to protect everything or foresee where all the debris will fall, as such moving items away from your home is a necessary precaution.
