How many estimates to repair my roof do I need?

Roof estimates are important documents and should be professionally prepared on company stationery and include costs for all materials, ventilation, gutters, cleanup and other related services, and must specify a completion date. The more businesslike their roof estimates and presentations, the more businesslike the roofing company is likely to be.

Be sure you understand any and all small-print regarding cost allowances, and completion date extensions. These provide for unforeseen problems, such as dry-rot or severe weather. Does the proposal specify who is responsible for obtaining any required building permits? Does it stipulate what time the work day begins?
