Why Understanding Roofing Estimates Matters
Not all roofing estimates are created equal. Comparing quotes without understanding what’s included can lead to costly mistakes. An accurate roofing estimate helps you budget appropriately and ensures you’re getting the services you need.

- Detailed Scope of Work
- Explanation of the work to be performed, including tear-off, repairs, and installation.
- Specifications for materials, including type, brand, and quantity.
- Cost Breakdown (Sometimes costs are all inclusive of materials and labor)
- Labor costs, including removal and disposal of old roofing materials.
- Material costs for shingles, underlayment, flashing, fasteners, etc.
- Equipment and tools required for the job (This is only if special/rare tools are required)
- Timeline for Completion
- Estimated start and completion dates.
- Factors that may cause delays, such as weather or supply issues.
