Frequently asked questions

How are roofing estimates calculated?

Most roofers measure the roof in squares (100 square feet), add a waste factor of about 10–15%, then price tear-off, materials and labor per square. Extras such as decking, chimney flashing and skylights are listed separately.

How should I handle decking replacement I can't see until tear-off?

Add a line with a price per sheet of plywood or OSB and a note that the final quantity will be confirmed after tear-off. That way the homeowner approves the unit price in advance.

What is included in a construction bid?

The project details, a detailed scope of work, pricing, exclusions, schedule, payment terms, how long the bid is valid and a place for acceptance.

How do I make my bid stand out?

Be specific about scope and exclusions, respond quickly, and make it easy to accept. A bid the owner can approve online often gets an answer faster.
