FAQ: What’s Included in a Wood Roofing Estimate?
Q: Will my estimate include both materials and labor?
A: Yes. A professional estimate should clearly show both, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Q: Are permits and inspections included?
A: In most cases, yes. We handle permitting and inspections as part of the project cost.
Q: What about cleanup after the job?
A: Our estimate always includes debris removal and site cleanup, so your home is left looking neat and safe.
Q: Can the estimate change once the job starts?
A: The only time costs change is if hidden damage (like rotten decking) is discovered. We’ll show you the issue before moving forward.
