Roof estimates, roof bid or roof quote is a written scope of the work between the roofing company and the home owner or building owner. It should include listing of all the work related with the roofing job.  The roof tear off, clean up, hauling away of old material, installation of the new roofing. 

The roof estimates should also include a list the material to be used on the job. Time frame of the job and of course overall total cost of the roofing job. 

If there are any changes to the work, a change order should be issued.

How to measure your house for new roof estimates.

• If your house is 45 feet across the front by 36 feet down the side that equals 1620 square feet. 
• Nest you have to allow for the pitch or angle of the roof. If the roof has a low slope like a 3/12 pitch you would multiply the total square feet of the roof by 1.03% this equals 1668.60 square feet to cover the house with this pitch.
• Most roofing contractors allow 10% to 15% for waste, so we will go with 12% waste, 12% of 1668.60 is 200,23 square feet. add that to our running total of 1668.60 equals 1868.83 square feet.
• All roofers will talk to you in "Roof Square" a roof square (100 square feet) is the total square feet divided by 100 so this roofing project is 18.69 roof squares.
• Net round that number up to 19 roof squares.
• This will get you the amount of shingles and underlayment you will need.
• Next do you need to remove the old roofing? A roof tear off is priced by the pitch, how many layers and the surrounding areas of the house. I would not put more then 2 layers on a house.
• Finally picking out the new shingles. so multiply the total roofing squares, times the shingle price per roof square.

Using our roof estimates calculator this roof should cost around $7950.
