How to price it

  1. 1

    Price by the square

    Measure the roof in squares (100 sq ft), add 10–15% waste for hips and valleys, and price shingles, underlayment and labour per square.

  2. 2

    Name the hidden-damage rule

    Rotten decking only shows up at tear-off. Say it gets priced per sheet before you replace it.

  3. 3

    Send it while you’re in the driveway

    Homeowners get several roofing quotes. The one that arrives first, clear and signable, often wins.

Send it from your phone, invoice with one tap

Wow Invoice turns this template into a 1-minute estimate: pick the design, add your logo, tap your saved items, and send it by text or email. When the client says yes, one tap turns it into the invoice.

Questions

Should a roofing estimate include decking repair?

Usually as a price per sheet rather than a total, because nobody knows how much is rotten until the old roof is off. Put the rate on the estimate so the homeowner agrees to it up front.

Is this roofing estimate template free?

Yes. Download the PDF example for free. The Wow Invoice app is free to download too, and makes estimates and invoices on your phone.

How does my client accept the estimate?

You send it from the app by text or email, and the client signs it to say yes. Then you turn it into an invoice with one tap.

Can I turn the estimate into an invoice?

Yes. When the client says yes, turn the estimate into an invoice with one tap, with the same items and prices.
