I m in the planning phase of building my first skoolie how do i plan on the cost of hiring a contractor for the roof raise and fabrication for a few windows framed.
Skoolie roof raise cost.
Some people who are able to do most of the work themselves and salvage some of their materials have raised their roof for as low as about 1 000 while some companies will charge around 10 000 to do it professionally.
The cost of raising a skoolie roof varies dramatically based on whether you are able to do the work yourselves or if you have to hire a fabricator or a contractor to do the entire process for you.
This high end custom skoolie costs around 87 000 if you include the cost of the school bus.
Please keep in mind we already had a welder which was about 250 when new and a few other tools that were not mentioned so if you are starting from.
