Roofing job quotes

Getting roofing job quotes can feel overwhelming—especially after a leak or storm damage. The good news: a few simple questions and a clear scope can help you compare estimates and avoid surprises.

What a good roofing quote should include

  • Exact scope (repair vs replacement, areas included, materials)

  • Labor + material breakdown (or clear total with what’s included)

  • Timeline (start date, duration, weather delays)

  • Warranty details (workmanship + manufacturer)

  • Cleanup plan (dumpster, nails/magnets, landscaping protection)

Questions to ask every roofer

  1. Are you licensed and insured (and can you provide proof)?

  2. What’s the exact repair/replacement scope and what’s excluded?

  3. What underlayment, flashing, and ventilation work is included?

  4. How will you handle rotten decking if you find it?

  5. What payment schedule do you require (deposit, milestones, final)?

Compare quotes the right way

Make sure you’re comparing the same scope and materials. The cheapest quote can become the most expensive if key items (flashing, ventilation, cleanup, warranty) are missing.
