Roofing Estimates

A roof leak doesn’t show up on install day. It shows up two winters later, as a warranty claim tracing back to a flashing detail or a penetration that got rounded off during the takeoff. Roofing looks like a simple trade from the ground  measure the plane, multiply by a unit cost but hips, valleys, penetrations, and edge conditions are where roofing estimates quietly fall apart, and where the resulting callback lands on the contractor who installed it, not the GC who awarded the job and moved on.

Our CSI Division 07 flat and inclined roofing estimating services are built specifically for roofing contractors bidding projects across the United States and Canada. We prepare site execution-based estimates aligned with actual installation methods, real roof geometry, access conditions, and realistic field productivity  delivered as a bid proposal ready to submit to the GC or property owner, with scope, inclusions, and exclusions defined clearly enough that there’s no ambiguity at review.

Every Roof System, Measured to the Smallest Practical Unit

Our detailed roofing square takeoffs cover the full range of systems your crews actually install:

• Flat roofing systems: TPO, PVC, EPDM, modified bitumen, BUR
• Sloped and inclined roofing; metal panels, shingles, tiles, standing seam
• Roof insulation, vapor barriers, and cover boards
• Flashings, edge metals, penetrations, and accessories

Every quantity is measured strictly per plans and specifications not a flat rectangle assumption that ignores hips, valleys, and roof penetrations. Pricing is developed using current market material rates and site-based productivity, so the bid you submit is one a GC can trust and your crew can actually execute without scope gaps or cost overruns showing up mid-install.

Fast, Reliable Roof Measurements Before You Ever Set Foot on Site

For early budgeting, insurance reviews, or bid preparation, we also provide roof measurements using satellite and aerial imagery based on the project address  giving you quick, reliable area, slope, and material quantities before a site visit is even scheduled. It’s a faster path to a working number when you need one, without sacrificing the accuracy your bid depends on.

What’s Included in Our Roofing Estimate

• Detailed roofing system quantity takeoffs
• Insulation, cover board & underlayment scope
• Flashings, edge metals & penetrations
• A bid proposal ready for ITB response

What You Get From Our Roofing Estimates

• Accurate quantities you can install as priced: no mid-job material runs because the takeoff came up short
• Pricing aligned with real roof conditions, not a flat per-square unit cost that ignores your specific roof geometry
• A bid proposal ready for direct submission to the GC or property owner, with no reformatting on your end

A roofing bid that prices flashing, penetrations, and edge conditions as carefully as the field area is a bid that protects you long after the crew has moved on to the next job because that’s exactly where the callbacks come from otherwise.

Our Roofing Estimating Process

1. Review Bid Details: We review plans, specifications, bid forms, and addenda to define the roofing scope and bid requirements.
2. Detailed Takeoff & Pricing: We prepare a detailed takeoff based on actual roof geometry and installation methods, with quantities measured strictly per plans, priced using current material rates and realistic field productivity.
3. Bid Proposal Delivery: You receive a clear, itemized estimate with a bid proposal defining scope, inclusions, and exclusions ready to submit directly to the GC or property owner.
