Among the most common elements on any roofing estimate you will find the materials cost. Obviously, that includes the shingles or tiles, roofing nails, and assorted other materials used in creating a solid roof. You are sure to find that some companies offer a lower estimate in this area than others. Don’t be afraid to question the numbers you see. If a materials estimate seems too good to be true, be sure to ask the hard questions and ensure that the cheaper price doesn’t mean poor quality of materials. While you don’t have to spend a fortune on materials, you may want to pay a little more for quality materials with warranties and guarantees. You aren’t saving any money if the materials used aren’t going to last.

Another element in learning how to compare roofing estimates is the labor estimate. Once again, many homeowners go for the least expensive. There is nothing wrong with looking for the best deal, but use your common sense and ask about the work team’s experience and completion record. This is also the time to find out about client references. Be sure to follow up with references and ask about their experience with the contractor in question and his team.
