While every estimate from every commercial roofing contractor will be different, there are certain elements that will usually appear, and it can be helpful to get a better understanding of each one so that you can break the estimate down before deciding whether to hire them: Materials: your contractor should be able to tell you the exact materials they plan to use, along with who they were manufactured by, and they may even give you several options to choose from. Labor: depending upon the contractor, labor costs may be detailed within the materials section, or in a separate section.
Protection: it’s important that you are clear on what steps will be taken to protect your business while work to replace or repair the roof is underway, and some contractors may choose to include the cost of this in their overall cost projection. Warranty: the warranty offered should be included in the estimate, both in terms of materials and labor. Naturally, the longer the warranty term, the more you will have to pay, but oftentimes, it’s absolutely worth the money.
Timeline: while no roofing contractor will be able to give you an exact timeline for the work, they should be able to give you a good understanding of how long each aspect of the installation will take to complete, and when they expect to have the work finished in the absence of any delays due to bad weather or supply chain interruptions. Payment due dates: depending on the size of the project, some commercial roofing contractors may allow you to make payments throughout the scheduled work, and if so, you’ll need to know exactly when each payment is due.
On the subject of payments, it can also be helpful when reviewing an estimate from a contractor, to know what the cost is dependent upon, such as the factors listed below: • The size of the roof Naturally, the bigger the roof, the more materials and labor will be needed, and even some considerations such as safety or debris removal, can have an impact when a roof project is large.
The system Different types of roofing systems come with different costs, and the system your contractor is recommending for your roof, should be discussed with you in detail so that you can be sure you’re not paying more for something you don’t want or need. • The style of the roof If your roof is pitched and has multiple peaks and valleys, the cost of labor will automatically be higher than if it was a flat roof, since the work is more complex and takes longer, too.
Access to the roof When a contractor has to factor in hiring a crane to get the materials to the top of a tall building, this will obviously send the price skyward. Always remember that you should be able to discuss the estimate with the roofing contractor, and if there are any points or pricing that you don’t understand or agree with, you should raise your concerns with the contractor at the earliest opportunity.
