What to write when a roof replacement price goes quiet
If $12,800 is why they have not replied, change the scope or explain the number. Do not invent a lower price in the follow-up.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
Why the number is the number
Most of a roof number is tear-off labor and the shingle grade, not a fee added at the end. The bid includes tear-off, underlayment, and the architectural shingles measured on the main roof.
What you can take out
The line you can remove is chimney flashing, which stays a separate price if you want it. Do not offer a discount on a roof that still needs the decking looked at. Roofing bids often sit while a homeowner waits on a second roofer or an insurance adjuster.

What is in the roof replacement price
Hi Maria, If $12,800 for the roof replacement looks high, here is what it covers: tear-off, underlayment, and the architectural shingles measured on the main roof. I can take out chimney flashing, which stays a separate price if you want it and send a revised number. I do not want to cut the work and leave the price looking the same. Thanks, Alex Rivera North Side Roofing
