The estimate
An attic check, then one page with the number
Dalila visits the house, goes up in the attic and walks the roof. A few days later you get a written estimate with each item on its own line.
Roof, attic and gutters on the same page
The price per sheet for any wood we might replace
The workmanship warranty terms, in writing
How pricing works
No price in the ad. Here is how it is made.
We do not print prices on this site, because no two attics are alike. We do print how the number gets built.
What decides the price
A roof is priced from what is on it and under it. Every job gets its own number.
The size and pitch of the roof
Layers to tear off, and what is under them
The material, and the vents, flashing and gutters that go with it
The shape of the attic: vents, baffles and insulation depth
What the estimate includes
A written list you can lay beside any other quote. If it is not on the list, it is not in the price.
Included: tear-off, disposal and cleanup
Included: underlayment, flashing, vents and ridge
Extra: rotten decking, priced per sheet in the estimate
Extra: chimney masonry and skylights
What happens at the visit
Dalila walks the roof if it is safe, then goes up into the attic with a light and a tape measure. You are welcome to come along. If a visit has a fee, we tell you when you book, before anyone comes.
After hours
We are not on call overnight. Messages and texts left after 4 p.m. are answered by 7 the next business morning. If water is coming in, say so and leave your address; the first crew free puts a tarp on, and we tell you the rate before the crew leaves.
When you get the number
Before any work starts, in writing, as one price for the work listed. If we open the roof and find rotten decking, the price per sheet is already in your estimate, so the only thing that can change is how many sheets.

About the estimate
Does the visit cost anything?
If a visit has a fee, we say so when you book and before anyone comes. If you go ahead with the work, we tell you whether it is credited to the job.
Can the number change?
Only if the job changes, and only after you agree to it in writing. The price per sheet of decking is already in the estimate.
