How to read a line-item quote
Your quote lists every material and labor line in writing. No lump sums.
Each line names one item, its quantity and its price. You can see what you are paying for shingles, underlayment, flashing and labor as separate lines. That makes it easier to compare our quote with another bid.
Each recommended line also ties back to a photo from your inspection report. If we cannot show you photo evidence for a recommended item, that line comes off the quote.
The 30-day price lock
Your written quote is price-locked for 30 days from the date on it. Look for the date at the top of the quote.
The price lock applies to self-pay quotes. Insurance-funded work follows the scope your insurer approves.
How decking is priced
Decking is the wood under your shingles. Nobody can see all of it until the old roof comes off.
So decking appears on the quote as a price per sheet. You pay for a sheet only if it is rotted, and we photograph it before we replace it.
Sales tax
Texas does not tax labor on residential roof work. On our lump-sum residential contracts, the price you see is the price you pay.
