Common Things You Can Expect From a Roofing Estimate

Home improvement experts strongly recommend obtaining multiple estimates before hiring a roofing or siding contractor. The result of your roofing project highly depends on how well your contractor does the job. Getting estimates and consulting different companies will help you distinguish who is ideal for your project. 

Here’s what you can expect from a roofing estimate. 

Valid Proof of License and Insurance

Whether you’re planning a roof or siding replacement, you must only work with a licensed and insured contractor. Hiring a company that’s not properly documented puts you at risk of poor workmanship. You might also end up covering costs for accident damage and injuries. Moreover, a reputable contractor will have no issue providing proof of licensing and insurance. 

Time line and Company Details

Expect your prospective contractor to provide information about the company and the project time line. The estimate must include the company’s number, email address, office address and other contact information. It should indicate who will handle the project and your payment terms and options. 

Detailed Costs

The ideal roof estimate will include all costs associated with your roof replacement project. It should state costs for obtaining permits, labor, materials, tear-off and disposal. All these costs must be detailed and not generalized. You should see how much it will cost to remove the old roofing, replace the decking, install new shingles and flashing, and clean up. If you need a gutter repair or replacement, its cost should also be included. Don’t forget to ask about any hidden costs.
