What to put on a roofing estimate

A roofing estimate is priced by the square, so build it that way and the client can follow your math. List your business and license number, the property address, an estimate number, date, and validity window, then itemize shingles, underlayment and flashing, tear-off and disposal, and labor. Add the line everyone forgets: a note that hidden deck rot found after tear-off is billed separately, with the per-sheet price stated, so you are not arguing about it on a ladder.

Common line items

Roofing estimates are usually built from these lines:

Shingles or roofing material, priced per square
Underlayment, flashing, drip edge, and accessories
Tear-off and disposal, per square
Labor
Decking replacement, at a stated per-sheet rate
Permit fees

Turning an estimate into an invoice

Roofing deposits are normal because the material order is large, so collect one to schedule and cover the shingles, then invoice the balance on completion. Spell out the hidden-damage clause up front, because deck rot is the single most common reason a roofing job goes over the estimate and a surprise charge sours an otherwise happy customer.

How to win more of the jobs you bid

Insurance jobs are a big part of roofing, so structure the estimate so it reads clean against an adjuster scope. Note the shingle brand and warranty in the description. A free WaffleInvoice account lets the homeowner approve the estimate online and converts it to an invoice, and the deposit can be collected by card or ACH so the material order is not coming out of your pocket.
