Do Roofers Give Free Estimates? A Roof Estimate Guide

do roofers give free estimates

Shingle Roof Inspection

Many roofing companies in the Orlando area offer free estimates, but not all roofing companies offer a free inspection. We strive to provide the most professional and comprehensive free roof  estimates in the Central Florida roofing industry, so that you can make an informed decision about your roof.

Roof Estimate vs. Inspection

You may need a roof inspection for home insurance or other purposes, which usually costs about $350. A roof inspection includes information about the current state of the roofing materials and the remaining lifespan of the roof. At Castle Roofing Group, we give homeowners as much information about their roof as possible when we perform a free inspection and estimate. We explain the current condition of the roof and the remaining lifespan of the roof if applicable.

However, the main purpose of an estimate is to outline the cost of a roof replacement with specific costs for every aspect of the project and a projected timeline for your project.

Getting a roof estimate is an important step before choosing a roofing company. Replacing your roof is a major decision, so pay attention to good communication, professionalism, and detail in the roofing estimate before moving forward with the quote. Here are things to look for in your roof estimate.

Estimate Roofing Costs FAQs

A roof estimate should include the roofing company name and license number, scope of the roofing project, cost of the roofing project, dumpster and disposal information, and information on next steps should you choose to accept the estimate.

To evaluate a roof quote, read the quote carefully and compare it to the average roof costs for your area. A quote that is very low could indicate a scam or hidden costs. A quote that is very high is also a red flag. The roof estimator should also explain the roof replacement process in detail beforehand. Before you call a roofing company for an estimate or accept an estimate from a roofing contractor, follow these steps to verify they are licensed and insured.

A roof estimate takes 10 to 30 minutes depending on the size of roof and type of damage. Typically, a roof estimator does not need to go inside. However, if you have a leak in which water is entering the attic, the roof estimator may go inside to inspect the damage.

While some roofing companies state that roofing estimates should be accurate within 10 to 15% of the initial estimate, we believe that roof estimates should 100% accurate. At Castle Roofing Group, we do not exceed the initial estimate except in the rare case that additional damage is found. Good roofing companies do a thorough roof inspection when providing the estimate and make every effort to honor the price of their initial estimate.
