← Contractor Quote AuditorWhat to check on the estimate
- Same tear-off layer count
- Same decking allowance and per-sheet price
- Same underlayment and shingle line
- Same flashing and vent treatment
- Same cleanup and disposal
- Same workmanship warranty length
Questions worth asking
- Are all bids assuming the same number of tear-off layers?
- Do they all state a per-sheet decking price?
- Are the underlayment and shingle line identical?
- Which bids replace flashing and vents rather than reusing them?
- Do all include dumpster, cleanup and nail sweep?
- Which workmanship warranty is longest, and who honors it?

Why is the cheapest roofing bid often not cheapest?
Reused flashing, thinner underlayment and open-ended decking pricing all show up after work starts.
Should I send the same scope to each roofer?
Yes. It is the single most effective way to make bids comparable.
