A roof estimate is a written projection of the work and pricing for a defined property project. It helps a contractor and customer understand the proposed work, quantities, materials, assumptions, and expected costs.
What an estimate may include
- Project and property details
- A description of proposed work, materials, and methods
- Measurements, quantities, labor, equipment, and pricing
- Allowances, assumptions, exclusions, taxes, or other terms relevant to the project
- Photos and project records that help explain observed conditions
When project details change
Newly observed conditions, customer-requested changes, or applicable construction requirements may call for a revised scope or price. Contractors should explain proposed changes to the customer, document the facts and pricing, and obtain any written authorization required by the contract and applicable law before performing additional work.
Estimates and insurance are separate questions
An estimate describes proposed work and price. By itself, it does not determine whether an insurance policy covers the work or guarantee that an insurer will pay for it. Homeowners should contact their insurer directly for its procedures and consult a licensed insurance professional or their state insurance department for policy-specific questions.
