Roofing · Scope

One question to ask about a roof replacement estimate

Pick one line of the bid. A follow-up that rewrites the whole scope does not get answered.

Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.

The line that gets replies

Do you want the chimney flashing included, or left off this bid? Put $12,800 in the email so they know which roof replacement you mean.

Included and left out

Included: tear-off, underlayment, and the architectural shingles measured on the main roof. Left out: chimney flashing, which stays a separate price if you want it. Most of a roof number is tear-off labor and the shingle grade, not a fee added at the end. Do not offer a discount on a roof that still needs the decking looked at.

If you send it from QuoteLasso

The default schedule is three emails, at 2, 5, and 10 days. Day 10 is the last one. You can move the dates. Add the estimate by typing it in, forwarding the message, or importing a spreadsheet. The customer sees your business name and the address followups@quotelasso.com. A reply comes to your inbox and the remaining follow-ups stop. QuoteLasso does not send texts. During the 14-day trial, due emails can send on their own. After that, Free is manual. Starter is $79/month and Pro is $149/month.
