Bring the other roofer's estimate. We inspect the roof, grade it, and go through their quote line by line: what's real, what's padding, what's missing and what it should cost. In writing. If their quote is good, we'll say so.

## The five things that make a roofing quote bad.

- **Missing items**: No ice-and-water, no ventilation, no decking allowance. The cheap quote is usually missing the parts that stop leaks.

- **Wrong measurements**: A roof measured from the street. We measure it, and the squares on our read match the squares on theirs, or they don't.

- **Vague products**: "30-year shingle" is not a product. Every material should be named with its tier, rating and warranty.

- **Deposits and deductibles**: A large deposit before materials arrive, or any offer to cover your deductible, is the quote telling you who you're dealing with.

- **No inspection**: If nobody went in the attic, nobody knows what the roof needs. The quote is a guess with a signature line.

## Thirty minutes on the roof, ten at the table.

- We grade the roof exactly as we would for any homeowner: attic, slopes, photos, report.

- We read their quote against the roof we just measured and write down the differences.

- You get both the Roof Grade and the written read, whatever you decide.

- If they're good we tell you to hire them. That happens, and it's fine.

## Straight answers.

### Is it really free, even if I go with the other roofer?

Yes. The Roof Grade is free for everyone, and the read on their quote is part of the visit.

### Will you just undercut them?

We'll quote what the roof needs at our price, with every line shown. Sometimes that's lower; sometimes it's higher because theirs left things out. You'll see exactly why.

### Can you check a quote after a storm?

Especially then. Storm quotes are where the missing items and the deductible offers live.
