What You Need to Know About Roofing Estimates
When it’s time for a new roof, getting an estimate is the first place to start. By gathering this information you will know what materials you are going to have installed, which company will provide the best warranties and customer service, and help you make this decision in a breeze.
Like many home projects, getting several estimates to help you make an educated decision is key. Meet with contractors who service your area and have them provide you a written estimate for the scope of your project. Once you narrow down your choice, it’s time to get to work!
Roofing estimates should include several pieces of information so you fully understand what work is going to be provided, what warranties are in place, how much it will cost and more:
Materials: The estimate should give a detailed description of the work that will be completed along with the roofing materials to be installed.
Cost: You’ll want the grand total, but having a breakdown of the different costs is also important. You should see the material costs and labor costs so you know exactly where each dollar is going.
Time Frame: Knowing how long the project will take is important to ensure that you and the roofing company are on the same page. The timeline should be set and shown on your estimate.
Warranties/Guarantees: What warranties or guarantees does the contractor offer for their services? If issues arise, how will they be handled? Make sure these are detailed on the estimate so you are informed and prepared.
Liability/Insurance: Reputable roofing companies should carry general liability insurance for their employees along with worker’s compensation coverage. Make sure that you are covered in the event one of the employees is injured while working on your roofing project.
Additional Information (cleanup, permits): When your roof is finished, you want your home to be ready to show off, right? Know who is responsible for cleaning up the interior and exterior of the home after the job is done. What additional costs are there for removing the old materials from your property? Is that included in the cost? Are there permits required in your area? If so, who will obtain them and what costs do they incur?
Having this information on hand and in writing will assist you in making the best decision for you and your roofing needs.
