The new way of estimating roofing cost

Blues Brothers Construction roofing company is moving into the future with an innovative software technology of estimating the cost of a new roof. How this works is a complicated series of intricate calculations which gives us the edge over almost all other roofing contractor’s. First, we will take the address of the property to obtain a satellite image of the roof. Next, our trained staff takes the satellite image and determines the correlation between the image size and actual size to provide the exact calculations of the roof dimensions. We then take the roof measurements and input them into our software.

How the software works from here is very complex and a special secret but we will give a brief explanation to help you understand the process. How a roofing contractor comes up with an estimate for a new roof is based on 4 major cost factors; the first being dump cost which is calculated based on the type and size of your roof. Second, is material cost which is the most complicated formula; it is based on the type of roof being installed, the underlayment chosen, style of roof attachment, and the type of building code being used. Third, is labor cost which is calculated based on the type and size of your roof. Fourth, is the permit cost that will be based on the municipality where the property is located and the total cost of the contract. Fifth, is our overhead & profit which is based on the total of all 4 major cost factors plus 15%; which is below the industry standard of of 30%.

Finally, the software will create your estimate based on the dimensions and the specifications by the manufacture of the type of roof you want to install. Depending on the roof chosen at the time, rebates and tax credits will automatically factor into your estimate and reduce the total cost of your roof. By using this technology our estimates are usually less then our competitors since we know the exact cost of the job before the job is even started which leaves no room for hidden surprises!!!!
