Understanding Your Savannah Roof Replacement Estimate

If you’re a homeowner, you know that there comes a time when every roof needs to be replaced. And the first step in getting a new roof is acquiring a professional roof replacement estimate. 

Roofing contractors with years of experience and a good reputation in the local community are most likely to give you the best and most transparent estimate for your particular roofing needs. This estimate generally consists of a cost breakdown, listing parts and details of the roofing project along with their expected price.

So, how should your roofing contractor go about the estimate, and what exactly should the estimate include? Keep reading to find out! 

 

First Things First: A Roof Inspection

As a homeowner looking to get their roof replaced, there are a few things you should do before you dive into the project, and the most important one is scheduling a thorough roof inspection. 

So, here are four things you need to know about the inspection itself: 

#1 Your contractor will first inspect your roof and check its current condition, along with the conditioning of the underlying structures, to determine whether your roof actually needs to be replaced. 

#2 Even though you may think your roof needs to be replaced, the inspection can show you may only need a few repairs. 

#3 On the other hand, if your roof is old and turns out it has some serious, irreparable damages, a new roof will often be the only solution. 

#4 Moreover, when the roof also has underlying structural damage, such as issues with the rafters or sheathing, a complete replacement is usually the best solution.

 

Roof Replacement Estimate Breakdown

Now, once the inspection has shown that a roof replacement is in order, you’ll want to know how much it all costs and what it entails, and that is generally what a roofing estimate is for.

Below, we will outline the factors that most commonly affect the total cost. 

 

Roof Size 

The size of your roof will have the biggest impact on the final price tag for a replacement. Larger roofs require more materials and labor, so it’s important to keep this in mind when getting an estimate. 

 

Roofing Material 

The type of roofing material you choose will also impact the final price. Some materials are more expensive than others, so it’s important to make sure you select a material that fits your budget. Your roofer will guide you through the process of selecting your roofing material, which could be anything from asphalt shingle roofing to metal roofing.

The type, style, and color of the shingles (or any other roofing material you choose), as well as the cost of all other roofing materials and components used, such as underlayment, flashing, and ridge vents, will be included in your quote.

 

Labor Cost & Scope 

Labor costs may differ from roofer to roofer, but the most important thing to verify is that the contractor will deliver high-quality work. Hiring a professional and seasoned local roofer instead of the cheapest option will usually be the best course of action since they will offer better quality workmanship and greater peace of mind.

 

Warranty Options

Warranties are an important assurance of the quality of the work being done and the roofing materials used. As a result, the roofing estimate should clarify whether any form of workmanship warranty is included and if there’s a manufacturer’s warranty on the products used.

 

Payment Information

Last but not least, your quotation should include an estimate of the ultimate cost, what type of payments are accepted by the roofer, if any up-front payments are required, and whether the roofer provides any financing solutions. This will assist you in preparing a budget and ensuring that all financial details, from start to finish, are clear.
