Roofing Estimate Template + How to Price a Roof

A clean roofing estimate wins jobs. This guide walks through every line a homeowner expects, how to price by the square, and the warranty language that closes the deal.

What to include

• Company name, license number, and insurance
• Property address, roof pitch, layer count, penetrations
• Square count (1 square = 100 sq ft)
• Scope: tear-off vs overlay, decking repair allowance
• Materials per square: shingles, underlayment, ice & water shield, drip edge, vents
• Labor, disposal, and permit fees
• Validity, deposit, and workmanship warranty

How to price a roof

Most roofers price by the square. A 25–30 square asphalt re-roof typically runs $7,500–$15,000 depending on region, pitch, layer count, and shingle grade. Steep-slope and complex roofs (lots of valleys, hips, dormers) command a premium.

Warranty language

Quote both the manufacturer's shingle warranty (often 25–50 years pro-rated) and your workmanship warranty (commonly 5–10 years). The workmanship warranty is what closes deals — homeowners want to know who is on the hook in year 3 if a flashing leaks.
