Common Questions
How do I estimate roofing costs?+
Measure the roof area in squares (1 square = 100 sq ft), then price materials per square plus labor for tear-off and installation. Add permits, disposal, and a markup for overhead and profit. Most residential re-roofs range from $350-$550 per square installed, depending on material and complexity.
What markup should I charge for roofing work?+
Roofing contractors typically mark up jobs 30-50% over direct costs to cover overhead, insurance, vehicle expenses, and profit. Your markup depends on your market, crew size, and whether you subcontract or self-perform. Never price below your true cost just to win a bid.
What should a roofing estimate include?+
A professional roofing estimate should include itemized materials (shingles, underlayment, flashing, etc.), labor broken into tear-off and installation, disposal/dumpster fees, permit costs, warranty terms, a project timeline, and payment terms. Include your contractor license number and insurance info.
How long is a roofing estimate valid?+
Most roofing estimates are valid for 30 days. Material prices — especially shingles and lumber — can fluctuate, so keeping a shorter validity window protects your margins. Always state the expiration date clearly on the estimate.
