Roof Estimate Comparison Sheet
Compare proposals line by line.
A complete Roof Estimate Comparison Sheet conversation covers exact tear-off or recover scope, deck allowance and approval method, named products and accessory systems, protection, disposal, and restoration, and payment, warranty, and schedule terms. Have the bidder identify where each Roof Estimate Comparison Sheet item appears in the estimate, contract, or closeout file. Stay on the ground or in a safely accessible interior area. Roof access, destructive inspection, and installation belong with qualified people using proper protection.
Planning factors
Five decisions worth documenting
Use the headings as a proposal check. The actions beneath them are specific to this project decision.
Exact tear-off or recover scope
Compare whether each bidder removes the same layers and disposes of the same material. A recover proposal and a full tear-off proposal are not equivalent prices.
Deck allowance and approval method
Ask each bidder to explain deck assumptions, replacement unit pricing, access, and approval. Keep damaged-area photographs tied to the change so the final invoice can be reconciled.
Named products and accessory systems
Write down the exact covering, underlayment, eave membrane, starter, ridge, metal, ventilation accessory, and fastener specifications. A brand name by itself does not identify a complete system.
Protection, disposal, and restoration
Separate protection, debris containment, disposal, magnet cleanup, landscaping, gutter work, solar coordination, and finish repairs. An omitted task still needs an owner.
Payment, warranty, and schedule terms
Read deposit, cancellation, progress-payment, weather-delay, change-order, workmanship, registration, and final-payment terms together. Ask for any verbal promise to appear in the responsible business’s written agreement.
