Do a little research before you start reaching out to companies for your roof replacement estimate. Ask friends, family, and coworkers for references to local roofing companies. You should have an idea of what type of material you’d like for your new roof. Ask the companies you’re considering during your roof replacement estimate if they’ll remove your old roof or just install the new one over the old shingles. You want a roofing company that will remove your old roof, check for damage, and do an expert job of cleaning up when they’re done. The estimate should include which services are included and which aren’t for the price.
3 Is the Magic Number
When getting a roof replacement estimate, make sure that you get at least three estimates from three different roofing contractors. This will help you to see the difference in prices and who has the most affordable price for the services they’re offering. In addition to three separate estimates, you should also get three references per company. Make the best choice based not only on the roof replacement estimate but also on the references from each company. Getting three estimates with three references for each will help you to make the best choice for your roofing contractor!
Does the Estimate Come in on Time?

You can evaluate the work ethic and dependability of the contractor for your roof replacement estimate by the amount of time it takes for them to get the estimate to you. If the contractor says they’re going to have the roof replacement estimate to you by a certain date but you don’t receive it by that time, this doesn’t say much for their work. How can you trust that they’ll get the job done on time when they can’t even get the estimate to you on time? Find a roofing company that does what they promise starting with the estimate, then evaluate their services from there.

Every roofing company will have a price markup on their supplies—this is normal. However, how do you know when a markup is too much? You can contact the roofing suppliers for that company and ask about their prices. This will let you know if the contractor for your roof replacement estimate is overcharging for the supplies and therefore giving you an unfair price. The price of the supplies should be on your roof replacement estimate—if it’s not, you need find another contractor because the estimate isn’t thorough or complete.
Getting a roof replacement estimate is an important part of finding the best contractor for your home roof replacement. Get at least three estimates to get an idea of prices as well as three references. Know what type of roof you’d like and which local companies have been recommended to you by family and friends. Talk to the contractor about the work they do as well as their experience. Getting the best roof replacement estimate is easy when you follow these tips!
