Roofing Estimating Services in Virginia
Quick Answer
What Are Roofing Estimating Services?
Roofing estimating services calculate roof area in squares, along with underlayment, flashing, ridge, valleys, drip edge, ventilation and accessories, then price materials and installation labor. Estimators account for pitch, waste, complexity and tear-off. Common Virginia roof types include asphalt shingles, standing seam metal, TPO and EPDM membranes and slate on historic buildings.

Overview
Professional Roofing Estimating for Virginia Contractors
Roof pitch, valleys and penetrations can change a roofing price dramatically. Our roofing estimating services give roofing contractors and builders accurate squares, accessories and labor pricing for residential and commercial roofs across Virginia.
We estimate asphalt shingle, architectural shingle, standing seam and exposed-fastener metal, slate, tile, TPO, EPDM, PVC and modified bitumen roofs, with insulation, cover board, flashing, gutters and downspouts. Tear-off, disposal and deck repair allowances are included for reroofing. Roofing is part of both our Residential Construction Estimating and Commercial Construction Estimating.
Envelope work often continues into siding and insulation; we can estimate those together.
