Price estimate for a new roof

[smithmiller6]

Our roof started leaking last night....
The house is a 1960's triplex. The roof was last redone in 1989.
The size of the house if 30 feet x 52 feet, so about 1500 sq.ft.
It's a flat roof. I was quoted a price of 12750$ CAN today (about 11500$ US) for completely re-doing the roof: removing the existing gravel and asphalt, raising the roof on three sides, installing 5 layers of asphalt, installing 5 new ventilators and re-doing the metal flashing on the side of the house.

Without knowing the going-rate for your area, I estimated it would be around $7/per sq. ft. for a 4-ply and that comes out to be $10,500. You were talking about a 5-ply system, so your estimate sounds about right to me.
