Read articleGood questions, straight answers
Roofing estimates without the runaround.
How accurate is the initial estimate?
It is a planning range built from the roof size you give, a typical pitch and complexity, and local prices for four materials. A contractor visit is needed for a final quote, especially when deck repairs, access, or code work are involved.
Do I have to share my contact information?
Not to see your planning profile. We ask for contact details to show the ranges for your roof and, if you want a firm quote, to pass your request to one local roofing contractor.
What if I don’t know my roof size?
Leave it empty to use a typical 2,450 sq ft roof, or work it out: the home’s living area divided by its number of floors, plus about 25% for the slope and eaves. You can change the size and see the ranges again.
Which Puget Sound cities do you cover?
Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Renton, Tacoma, Everett, Issaquah, and nearby communities.
