Do you calculate roofing squares and material quantities?
Yes, our service includes precise square footage calculations for all roofing materials including shingles, underlayment, starter strips, and ridge caps. Accurate measurements account for roof pitch, waste factors and complex geometries. Material lists include everything from drip edge to ventilation components so you can order complete packages without shortages.
Can you estimate different roofing materials and systems?
Yes. Our roofing takeoffs cover asphalt shingles, metal roofing, cedar shakes, slate and flat roofing systems. Each material requires different installation methods, labor rates and accessory components which are reflected in separate estimates. Specialty systems like green roofs or solar integration get custom calculations.
How do you handle steep slope and complex roof designs?
Complex roof lines with multiple hips, valleys and dormers require detailed calculations for increased labor time and material waste. Safety equipment costs escalate on steep slopes and our estimates include appropriate scaffolding, harness systems and insurance considerations. Architectural features like turrets or curved sections get custom pricing.
What about tear-off versus overlay estimates?
Tear-off projects include disposal costs, dumpster rental and additional labor hours for complete removal. Overlay estimates account for reduced material costs but include structural assessments to ensure deck capacity. Building code requirements often dictate which approach is acceptable and our estimates reflect local regulations.
Do you include ventilation calculations and requirements?
Proper ventilation calculations are essential for warranty compliance and building codes in Canada. Our estimates include intake and exhaust vent requirements based on attic square footage ratios. Ridge vents, soffit vents and power ventilation systems are calculated separately with installation requirements and electrical connections when needed.
Can you estimate flashing and underlayment requirements?
Detailed flashing calculations include step flashing, valley flashing and chimney work with custom fabrication costs. Ice and water shield requirements vary by climate zone across Canada and our estimates specify appropriate coverage areas. Synthetic versus felt underlayment options are provided with cost comparisons.
How do you handle weather delays and seasonal pricing?
Canadian weather significantly impacts roofing schedules and our estimates include seasonal adjustments for material and labor costs. Winter work requires heated enclosures and snow removal which increases project costs. Spring and fall pricing reflects peak demand periods when contractor availability affects rates.
What about equipment and safety requirements?
Equipment is included in all estimates from air compressors and nail guns to safety equipment and fall protection systems. WSIB compliance costs and safety training requirements are factored into labor rates. Crane requirements for heavy materials like slate or metal panels are calculated separately.
Why should roofing contractors outsource their estimating?
Roofing estimating requires knowledge of material calculations, pitch factors, waste allowances and local building codes. Professional takeoff services let you focus on the actual installation while ensuring competitive and accurate bids. From simple re-shingles to complex commercial installs everything gets proper estimates.
