Frequently Asked
Questions
How do I estimate a roof replacement?
Measure the roof in squares (1 square = 100 sq ft). Factor in pitch multiplier, waste factor (10-15%), number of layers to tear off, decking condition, and complexity (valleys, dormers, penetrations).
Should roofing estimates include potential extra costs?
Yes. Note that decking repairs, additional tear-off layers, or code-required upgrades may add to the cost. Include a per-sheet price for decking replacement so there are no surprises.
How do I handle insurance estimate adjustments?
Submit your detailed estimate to the insurance adjuster. Include a supplement request for any items not covered in the initial claim. Work with the homeowner to understand their deductible and any out-of-pocket costs.
