Roofing quote FAQs
- What should a complete roofing quote include?
- Tear-off and disposal, underlayment and ice-and-water shield, the specific shingle product, flashing and ventilation, permits, a decking-replacement rate, and both manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
- Why is one roofing quote so much cheaper than another?
- Usually because the scopes differ — a lower quote may exclude tear-off, permits, ventilation, or quality underlayment. Compare what each price includes before judging it.
