REPAIR COST / ILLUSTRATED GUIDE
Why can access and roof shape affect a repair estimate?
The same visible concern can involve different access, preparation, and roof details.
Access
Describe driveways, side yards, occupancy, and other practical constraints. The contractor decides what equipment and arrangements are appropriate.
Roof details
Height, steepness, material, and connections can change the work involved. House floor area alone does not describe the repair.
Written scope
Ask which preparation, access, permit, and cleanup items are included where applicable. Avoid comparing totals before understanding these items.
