Measuring the roof, reading and comparing quotes, deposits and progress payments, contracts and paying for the job, with the arithmetic shown.
This group turns the price factors into numbers you can check yourself. A roofing quote is easier to judge once you have your own estimate of the roof area, a list of what should be included, and a clear idea of the deposit your state allows.
Begin with the roof replacement quote checklist, which walks through the job from first inspection to final payment. The other guides take one step each: measuring roof area with a pitch factor, a full tile-to-Colorbond worked example, comparing three roofing quotes, deposits, progress payments and contract terms and ways to pay for a new roof.
The re-roof cost estimator, cladding cost estimator, deposit limit check and roof finance calculator let you rerun every example with your own figures. Every figure in the worked examples is illustrative.
