Contractor bid guide

How to Compare Roofing Quotes

Roofing bids can use the same shingle brand while pricing different roofing systems and installation details.

Compare the full roofing system

Look beyond the shingle name to underlayment, ice-and-water membrane, starter, ridge cap, flashing, vents, fasteners, and manufacturer system requirements.

Decking can be a major unknown

Ask how damaged decking is identified and priced, including any included sheets or unit rate.

Warranty language should name both layers

Compare contractor workmanship coverage with manufacturer product/system coverage and any registration requirements.

Use the decision as the starting baseline

When you choose a contractor, preserve the accepted scope, price, allowances, and payment milestones. CheckMyBids is the pre-hire side of the workflow; CheckMyRemodel is where the awarded project continues when changes and payments start.
