Interactive sample report
Sample: $24,380 Meridian Roof Estimate
Ventilation not clearly specified
The estimate lists shingle replacement, but it does not clearly identify intake or exhaust ventilation work.
Five-year workmanship warranty
That may be reasonable, but it is shorter than some full-system bids in the Treasure Valley.
Decking priced separately
That can explain part of the final cost if damaged sheathing is discovered during tear-off.
Flashing language unclear
The document does not clearly say whether critical flashing is being replaced or reused.
Trust promise
What happens if the other bid is fair?
We will tell you. The purpose of the review is to help you understand the proposal, not manufacture a reason to switch contractors. If the scope and price appear reasonable, your review should say so.
