Roof quote checker

Direct answer: a roof quote is easier to compare when the written proposal clearly addresses materials, tear-off, water-management details, hidden decking, permits, cleanup, warranties, payment, change orders and timing. This tool measures documentation completeness, not contractor quality.

Price only makes sense after the scope is visible. Mark what your written proposal clearly addresses and we'll turn the gaps into questions to ask before you compare bids.

Why these 16 items?

The checklist reflects recurring categories in roofing proposal guidance: material system, tear-off, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, hidden decking, cleanup, warranties, payment and timing. Kentucky Roofing Contractors Association guidance is the core industry anchor; additional current estimate-guide categories are used for hidden-damage and project-administration questions.

Checklist version: August 14, 2026. The percentage is a HomeQuoteCheck documentation heuristic, not an industry certification score.

Frequently asked questions

Does a missing item mean the contractor is bad?

No. It means the written proposal may need clarification. The tool deliberately avoids ranking or accusing contractors.

What does the completeness score mean?

It summarizes how many checklist categories are clearly documented. It does not determine legal sufficiency, workmanship or contractor reliability.

What should I do with unclear items?

Ask the contractor to clarify the written scope before using the total price for an apples-to-apples comparison.
