Why Do Roofers’ Quotes Vary?

by | Apr 15, 2019

When you need to have general contracting services done at your home, we usually begin by getting quotes from different companies. We compare each quote one by one to determine what company provides the most competitive price. However, the question still remains: why do different companies offer differing quotes?

YES Roofing & Exteriors explains why project quotes may differ across different contractors.

Product

The biggest cost difference between every quote is the products being installed. Each roofing construction company offers products from different manufacturers. When asking for a quote, it’s better to ask what type of underlayment, nails, and flashing will be used in the project.

Labor

Companies may charge differently according to labor. For example, when you ask a quote for a roof replacement, some companies will just give you a quote for the roof itself and will not include the removal and disposal of the old roof materials. When asking for a quote, the best thing to do is to specifically indicate everything that you want to be included in the project.

Company’s Reputation

If the quotes you have received from the companies contain similar products and services, then perhaps the difference in cost is the company itself. Companies who are just starting may give a lower price to entice new customers. On the other hand, companies that are bonded and insured may offer a higher bid than others. Even a roofing contractor with a physical location has a possibility to charge more than others who don’t.
