Your Roof Replacement Plan

The final result page collects the estimates, risk flags, questions, checklist, and next calculators.

Risk flags

  • unclear decking allowance
  • percentage deductible shock
  • low bid without ventilation scope
  • insurance scope missing required roof-system items

Next questions

  • What is included in the tear-off?
  • How is decking priced?

  • What happens if code upgrades are needed?
  • Does the insurance scope include drip edge, starter, ridge cap, pipe boots, flashing, vents, access labor, and detach/reset items?

Recommended next calculators

Common mistakes

  • comparing quotes with different scopes
  • treating roof-over as safe without deck inspection
  • forgetting deductible cash flow
  • ignoring roof pitch labor impact
