Roofing estimate FAQ
What should a roofing estimate include?
Tear-off vs. overlay stated explicitly, shingle brand and product line, underlayment type, flashing and ventilation work, decking repair allowance per sheet, workmanship and manufacturer warranty terms, permit and disposal costs, and a signature line. Roof disputes almost always start from 'I thought that was included' — an itemized, signed scope ends that conversation.
How do roofers price a job?
Most roofing is priced per square (100 sq ft) of roof area, adjusted for pitch, stories, layers to tear off, and access. State your measured squares on the quote and note how steep-slope or extra-layer surcharges are calculated — customers comparing bids will trust the contractor who shows the math.
How do I close roofing jobs after a storm inspection?
Photograph the damage while you are on the roof, attach the photos to the estimate, and present it to the homeowner before you leave. Contractors who hand over a documented, signable quote on the spot beat the ones who mail something a week later. QuoteSeal lets the homeowner sign on your phone in the driveway.
