Use-case checklist
What to include in a roofing estimate
Roofing costs can move when decking and flashing are exposed. A useful estimate separates measurable roof work from unit-priced hidden repairs so the homeowner knows what could change.
- roof area, pitch, layers, and access
- tear-off and disposal
- underlayment, roofing, flashing, and ventilation
- decking repair unit price
- permit, warranty, weather, and validity assumptions

Complete it cleanly
Record roof area, pitch, layers, access, material system, disposal, and warranty basis. Use per-sheet or per-linear-foot rates for concealed decking and flashing work rather than hiding them in contingency.
When this document is the right choice
Use this estimate to set a realistic expected cost before the final scope is known. An estimate is an informed approximation, not a final invoice. State the assumptions that could move the price and replace it with a quote or invoice once scope is confirmed.
