What to Expect From a Good Roofing Estimate

The first and crucial step in any roofing project is getting an estimate from a trusted local contractor. A roof estimate should tell you everything you need to know about your project, whether it may involve a repair or replacement. That’s why you have to make sure the estimate you’re given is detailed and precise. One of the leading home exterior remodeling companies in the area, Triangle Home Exteriors, shares some of the things to expect from a good roofing estimate.  

• Basic Company Information. First things first–check if the roofing estimate contains information about the roofing company. These include legal business name, contact details (such as physical business location, phone number, and email), and license number. Make sure to look for insurance requirements, such as workers’ compensation and liability coverage, as well.

• Project Timeline. Your estimate should include a projected start and completion date for your roof replacement or repair. The project timeline allows you to view the entirety of your project in one place and, at the same time, gives you a clear idea of how fast and efficiently your contractor works. Barring inclement weather and other unforeseen circumstances, your roofer should be able to finish your project in a reasonable time frame.

• Material and Labor Costs. The roof estimate should detail the costs of every material and product necessary to the project–from the shingle nails and underlayment to the flashing and attic ventilation. The labor costs may cover not only the actual roof installation or repair but also the removal and disposal of old components and materials. All the figures should be organized in a way that’s easy to read and understand. If you spot any charge that seems out of place, make sure to promptly ask your roofer for clarification.
