HOW TO USE IT
How to use the Roof Inspection Cost Calculator
- 1
Base by roof type: Asphalt is the cheapest to inspect; metal and tile take more time and care. Set the base by roof type and material risk.
- 2
Stories add access cost: Each additional story makes the roof harder to reach and more dangerous. Add an access charge per story.
- 3
Age raises the scope: An older roof needs closer inspection of wear, granule loss and flashing. Factor age into the effort.
- 4
Detailed reports cost more: A standard report lists findings; a detailed one adds photos and measurements. Quote the report level in the estimate.
