Roofing Estimating Services

Membrane, steep-slope, shingle and metal roofing estimates for residential, commercial and industrial projects, quantified fast so your bid goes out before the deadline. You get the roofing numbers in an editable workbook with a marked-up plan set behind every line.

Roofing estimating

A roof estimate you can bid the same day

A roofing bid lives or dies on how fast it can be turned around, and how confident the contractor is in the square footage behind it. Our roofing estimators work from drawings or, where none exist, from site photos and measurements, to produce a defensible cost in hours rather than days.

Membrane and bituminous roofing, steep-slope and shingle systems, flashing and sheet metal, green roofs, skylights and damp-proofing are all covered, with each roofing material and assembly captured as its own line item rather than a blended allowance.

We work across residential, commercial and industrial roofing, from a single-family re-roof to a warehouse or petrochemical facility, using PlanSwift and current zip-code based pricing to keep every estimate consistent and easy to check.
