What to put on a roofing estimate

  • The roof size in squares. One square is 100 square feet of roof.
  • The pitch, and how many layers come off in the tear-off
  • The shingle or metal product by brand and line, plus its color
  • Decking priced per sheet, since nobody knows how many sheets are bad until the old roof is off
  • Underlayment, ice and water shield, drip edge, flashing and vents as their own lines
  • Dumpster, disposal and the permit, so they do not show up later as extras
  • The manufacturer warranty and your own workmanship warranty, written separately
  • How long the price holds, the deposit to approve, and what happens if weather moves the start date

Why offer good, better and best

80% of homeowners want to know what good, better, best options are available. Housecall Pro, Customer Service Report (December 2025).

A confusing quote is the second most common reason homeowners give for being least likely to hire a contractor (32.6%). Modernize, Homeowner Insights Report 2025.

40.96% of homeowners planned to compare two quotes, 25.72% three, and 14.41% four or more. Modernize, same report.

Questions

Questions about the template.

  1. Quote a price per sheet and say how many sheets the price includes, if any. After the tear-off, the invoice shows the real count. The customer knows the rule before work starts.

  2. You can change only the shingle, or also the underlayment, the ventilation or the warranty length. Keep the tear-off, disposal and permit lines the same in all three so the options are easy to compare.

  3. Yes. Change the descriptions and the units. Metal panels are often priced by the square or the panel, and flat roofs by the square foot. Every line is yours to edit.

  4. The subtotal is quantity times unit price, added up for the option you are pricing. A discount comes off before tax. An amount discount is spread across lines in proportion to each line's share of the subtotal. Tax is your tax rate times the taxable lines after that discount. The total is the subtotal, minus the discount, plus tax. A deposit on an estimate is the amount due to approve.

  5. No. Download or print from this page, or copy a link that keeps the document in the URL hash. Fasite does not store the document. The small Fasite line on the PDF can be turned off.
