ROOF REPLACEMENT COST
Estimate the project, then verify the proposal.
A useful roof estimate should consider roof size, material, complexity, tear-off, stories, and local market factors. A useful proposal review should also verify scope, allowances, warranty, payment terms, permits, and change-order language.
What to check before signing a roofing proposal
- Total contract amount and whether it is actually construction cost or a professional-services fee.
- Tear-off, disposal, underlayment, flashing, drip edge, ventilation, cleanup, and permit responsibility.
- Decking allowance and additional decking unit price.
- Written change-order approval process.
- Workmanship warranty length and what it covers.
