What a roofing contractor in Taylor checks on estimate day

If you have never had a roofer on your property, you may wonder what an inspection actually involves. We walk the roof and look at the shingles, the flashing (thin metal strips sealing joints and edges), the vents and the edges, then check inside for stains. This is the first step of every job under our roofing services.

Many Taylor homes are post war ranches and bungalows, so we also ask how old the roof is and how many layers sit on it. We measure the roof ourselves, because the size and pitch change the price. Then we tell you what we found, whether it needs a fix or a new roof, and why. You can read about roof replacement in Taylor or roof repair in Taylor.

How to tell a good roofing estimate from a weak one

When three estimates arrive with three different prices, you need to know what to compare. A good quote is in writing, names the work, lists the materials and shows the price, so you can set the quotes side by side. If one of them is for a full roof replacement, check that it says what happens to the old roof.

Look for the shingle line by name, such as Owens Corning Duration or Duration Storm, and whether the old roof comes off to the decking. A quote that adds a second layer over old shingles hides the wood from view. Our roofing in Westland page walks through the same questions to ask any roofer. Be wary of a figure given over the phone with no one ever seeing the roof, or anyone who asks for money before showing proof of insurance. We are licensed in Michigan, carry general liability and workers comp, and send certificates before work begins. A typical residential replacement with us runs $8,500 to $16,000, and your written quote shows where yours lands.
