When to use this template
Build and revise pricing online, then generate a client-ready quote PDF. Use this after a roof inspection or site visit when the homeowner asks for a written price to repair or replace their roof.
What to include
- Property owner name, property address, and roof access details such as ladder-set location and driveway availability for material staging.
- Scope broken down by section: shingle type and manufacturer, number of squares, underlayment specification, ice-and-water shield coverage, drip edge, flashing, and ridge vent details.
- Tear-off and disposal plan: number of existing layers to remove, dumpster placement, and dump fees included or excluded.
- Line-item pricing with labor, materials, and any subcontracted work like gutter replacement or skylight re-flashing listed separately.
- Quote expiration date, deposit requirement, estimated start date, and a signature block for customer acceptance.
Common questions
- Can I build and revise this Roofing Quote online before sending it?
- Yes. Update scope, quantities, labor, and totals in your browser, then generate a polished Roofing Quote PDF.
- Can I save this Roofing Quote and reuse it for similar jobs?
- Yes. With an account, save it as a baseline, reopen it later, and adjust line items quickly for repeat work.
- Can I export this Roofing Quote with finalized pricing and terms?
- Yes. Generate a clean PDF once details are final so clients receive a clear and professional quote.
- Should I quote per square or give a flat project price?
- Most homeowners prefer a flat project price. Break out squares and materials in your line items so the price is transparent, but show one total at the bottom.
- Do I need to include the shingle manufacturer and product name?
- Yes. Specifying the exact product, such as GAF, Owens Corning, or CertainTeed architectural shingles, prevents disputes about material quality and locks in warranty eligibility.
- How do I handle unknowns like rotten decking?
- Add a per-sheet price for plywood replacement as a contingency line item, so the customer knows the cost upfront if decking damage is found during tear-off.
- Should I include photos from the inspection in the quote?
- Attaching two or three photos of problem areas builds trust and helps the homeowner understand why specific work is needed.
- How do I make my estimates look professional?
- Use a structured online form with your company name, itemized pricing, and clear terms. A professional-looking estimate builds trust and makes customers more likely to approve the job.
- What if the customer says my price is too high?
- A detailed estimate with transparent line items shows exactly what they are paying for. Customers push back less when they can see labor, materials, and overhead broken out clearly.
- Should I email or text my estimates?
- Always send a formatted PDF rather than a text message. A PDF looks professional, can be printed, and creates a record both sides can reference if there is a dispute.
