Free Roofing Estimate Template

Roofing is priced by the square (100 sq ft), and the template is built that way: tear-off, underlayment, shingles and ridge each carry a per-square unit, with flashing, vents and pipe boots counted, and disposal by the ton. The result reads like a roofer wrote it because the units are the ones the supplier uses.

Tips for this kind of estimate

  • State the number of layers being removed; a second layer changes labor and disposal.
  • Name the shingle product and color so the warranty registration matches the estimate.
  • Add a decking replacement rate per sheet for rot found after tear-off.

Questions

What is a roofing square?

One square is 100 square feet of roof surface. Suppliers sell shingles by the square (three bundles), so the template prices by it too.

How much waste should I include?

Ten percent for simple gable roofs, fifteen for hips and valleys. Change the quantity on the shingle line; the template shows the assumed waste in the description.
