A roofing quote is not only a price. It is a promise about materials, installation, cleanup, communication and what happens if conditions change after tear-off.
Compare scope, not just totals
Confirm the roofing product, underlayment, ice and water membrane, flashing approach, ventilation, disposal and cleanup included in each quote.
Ask about insurance
A legitimate roofing contractor should be able to explain the insurance coverage carried for the work.
Ask who communicates with you
Know who your contact is, how schedule changes are handled and how questions during the project will be answered.
Ask how unforeseen deck damage is priced
The condition beneath an old roof cannot always be known before tear-off. A clear proposal explains what happens if damaged decking is found.
