QUESTION:

How do I compare multiple roofing estimates?

ANSWER:

Most estimates you receive from other roofing companies will look the same on a surface level.

But, you should definitely look closely at the materials being used and be sure to ask each contractor to include the names of the materials they’ll be using.

There are major differences when you look closely at the materials being used.

For example, both companies may be quoting a 30 year Architectural shingle.

But, you must look closely on the estimate and avoid those contractors that are using basic builders grade products, and a variety of different material manufacturers, instead of giving you a complete system from one manufacturer, which carries a much longer warranty.
