A roofing estimate is so much more than just a bottom-line dollar amount. Rather, the wealth of descriptive information, attention to detail, and transparency build your trust and confidence that you’re getting an accurate projection, not hidden surprises.
Here’s what full disclosure estimating looks like:
- Detailed Work Description – A proper roofing estimate should clearly lay out the full scope of work, whether major or minor. If it’s a roof replacement, the work description should start from tear-off and disposal of old materials to installation of underlayment, flashings, and the roof itself. This allows you to understand exactly what is entailed at each phase.
- Materials to Be Used – Additionally, the estimate should specify the type and quality grade of all materials. Ideally, it should also call out the manufacturer specifics of the proposed roofing materials, like warranties included, to allow you to research and confirm the quality of the products suggested.
- Associated Costs – A roofing estimate done right breaks out costs associated with all labor, equipment rentals, materials, permits, disposal fees, and other itemized expenses. This transparency lets you fully understand what’s driving the total price tag.
- Expected Project Timelines – Knowing the phases and schedule from start to finish is extremely helpful. A completion date or estimated duration for the roofing job will allow you to prepare and coordinate with other projects at your home or business.
