How it works

What customers compare

  • Shingle make and line, so they’re comparing like with like
  • Tear-off or overlay, and who hauls it away
  • Decking, with a price per sheet for surprises
  • Warranty: the maker’s, and yours on the work
  • Timing and cleanup

Get the numbers from the roofing calculator, then check your margin with the markup calculator. Storm work and insurance jobs have their own state rules, so check before you sign those.

Common questions

What should a roofing estimate include?
Your business and license number, the roof’s size, tear-off and disposal, materials by name, labor, decking prices, warranty, how long the price is good for and the total.
How do I measure a roof for an estimate?
Length × width × the pitch factor gives you the area, and 100 square feet is one square. The roofing calculator does this for you.
How do I price rotted decking?
Set a price per sheet in your estimate, so you can replace it without a surprise. The template includes a line for it.
Should I get a deposit?
Many roofers do. Some states limit how much you can take up front on home improvement jobs, so check yours.
