Questions about roofing quote requests
Why send every contractor the same roofing scope?
+
Contractors describe the same job in different ways. One quote may include tear-off, permits and cleanup while another leaves them out, which makes the cheaper quote look better than it is. When everyone prices the same written list, the totals mean the same thing — and gaps are easy to spot.
What should a roofing quote include?
+
A complete quote lists every part of the work with its own price, names the products being installed, says who pulls the permit, gives a payment schedule tied to finished stages, and states the workmanship warranty in writing. The checklist on this page covers the items most often missing from roofing quotes.

How many quotes should I get?

Three written quotes is a common rule of thumb. It's usually enough to see a fair price range without spending weeks on estimates. When they arrive, compare them side by side.
