Common roofing conversations
Roofing, in plain words.
Roof repair

Storm damage
Visible wind or hail damage documented safely before the repair scope is discussed.
Roof condition
Age, visible wear and the questions to settle before buying, selling or planning ahead.
Drainage
Gutters, edges and the path water takes away from the roof and structure.
Low-slope systems
Roofing conversations for flat or low-slope commercial surfaces.
For the homeowner comparing roofers
Three things worth settling before the work starts.
- 01
Who are you speaking with?
Match the address and phone on this page to the business you were referred to.
- 02
What exactly is included?
Ask for the roof area, layers, damaged deck and material to be written into the scope.
- 03
What can change after tear-off?
Deck damage can be hidden. Ask how it will be shown and priced if it is found.
Start from the ground, not with a climb.
Describe what you can safely see from the ground and when the problem began.
Before the work starts
Five things a useful roof conversation should settle.
- 01
Describe what you can see
Share where the problem appears and roughly when it started. Stay on the ground.
- 02
Ask what will be inspected
The roof surface, flashing, penetrations, layers and visible deck condition can change the scope.
- 03
Compare a written scope
Look for area, tear-off, deck allowance and material — not only one total at the bottom.
- 04
Settle how changes are approved
Hidden damage can appear after tear-off. Ask how it will be shown and authorized before extra work.
- 05
Keep the final walk-through
Use the last visit to review the finished roof, the property and anything still open.
Before you compare numbers
What decides a roof price.
A useful comparison separates roof area, tear-off, hidden deck work, pitch and material. The final number should follow an inspection of the actual condition.
- Size
- Roofs are measured in squares — one square is 100 square feet. A roof is always larger than the floor beneath it, usually by a third.
- Tear-off
- How many old layers have to come off, and be hauled away. Two layers is not twice the work of one, but it is not the same either.
- Deck
- What is under the shingles. Rotten plywood only shows itself once the old roof is off, so it is priced per sheet as found — never guessed at up front.
- Pitch
- How steep it is. Past roughly 7-in-12 a crew needs staging and everything slows down.
- Material
- Three-tab, architectural, metal, tile. The spread between the cheapest and the longest-lasting is wider than most people expect.
