Getting a Roofing Estimate: What to Expect

You may have noticed that your roof isn’t looking as stellar as it once did, and perhaps it’s time for a repair or even a replacement. But where do you begin? Getting an estimate is the first step to ensuring the success of your roofing project. Read on as we explain the things to expect during the entire process.

Roof Inspection

When you schedule an estimate, the contractor will first inspect your roof to assess its condition and identify any areas that need immediate attention. This step is crucial to determine the most appropriate service, whether it’s a simple repair or a complete shingle roof replacement.

Discussion of Roofing Options

After the inspection, the contractor will discuss your roofing options. If it is going to be a roof replacement, expect the roofer to offer you shingles of different colors, textures and profiles. This is the time to ask questions and share your preferences, so the contractor can provide the best solution for your needs and budget.

Price Estimate

Based on the inspection and your preferences, the contractor will provide you with a price estimate for the damaged roof repair or replacement. This estimate should include the cost of materials, labor, and any necessary permits. Be sure to discuss payment options and inquire about any potential hidden fees or additional costs.

Project Timeline

The contractor should give you an estimated timeline for your roofing project, including start and end dates. Keep in mind that unforeseen circumstances, such as weather or material availability, can affect this timeline.

Choosing a Reputable Roofing Contractor

Invest time researching different local contractors. See if they have proper licensing and insurance and read reviews from past clients. Ask for references as well. Ideally, you’ll want to compare multiple estimates from these prospective contractors so you can make an informed decision.
