How to estimate a roofing job
Roof pitch, number of layers, access and damaged decking can change roofing costs. State what your base price includes and how unforeseen deck replacement or structural work will be handled.
Roofing estimate checklist
Measure the roof carefully, include waste, identify tear-off and disposal, and separate optional upgrades such as premium underlayment, ventilation or flashing replacement.
