We do not have a verified price for your property. Useful cost planning begins with the work in the written proposals: removal, the proposed roof assembly, interfaces, site responsibilities, unresolved conditions and offered terms. A broad statewide figure cannot make different scopes comparable.
Give every number a defined scope
For each actual proposal, record its total and the document version. Then identify which work is Included, Excluded, an Allowance, Optional or Unknown. Keep material/product identity and quantity details visible separately from those status labels. Matching statuses alone do not prove matching specifications.
Make quantities and responsibilities comparable
Ask each bidder to state the measured roof area and quantities supporting its proposal, the material and assembly specified, access assumptions, removal and disposal, flashing, ventilation and any underlying work included. Record the source proposal beside each answer. An omitted item remains unclear; these questions do not establish your property's condition, required design or price.
Worked example: equal totals, unequal information
Two fictitious proposals have the same stated total. One names removal and disposal; the other is silent. Record the second removal item as Unknown and ask for written clarification. Do not call it a saving or assume it is included. The example uses no invented local price or preferred contractor.
Ask about dependencies before selecting an alternate
A material alternate may change other proposed assembly, interface or closeout details. Ask the contractor to identify the associated changes and applicable product documents. Do not compare the covering name in isolation or infer structural suitability from a sales description.
Keep approval for additional work explicit
Ask how concealed-condition work would be assessed, priced and presented for approval. An allowance is not proof of the final amount. Read the actual warranty terms and requested closeout documents rather than treating a headline warranty duration as an equivalent benefit.
Questions to keep with your proposal
- Which work and specifications support this total?
- What is unstated, optional or subject to a later decision?
- How will additional work and approval be documented?
No fair-price judgment, savings promise, financing claim or property-specific cost is supplied. QuoteScope organizes proposals; it does not value or verify them.
Apply the questions to an existing project guide
These existing guides provide related preparation context. A location link does not confirm contractor coverage or availability.
Source documents and limits
Use these source documents to prepare questions; they do not assess your property or establish the terms of your actual offer.
- Cslb Written Scope: Questions about written work/material/responsibility/change and warranty terms in applicable residential home-improvement proposals.
- Nrca Warranty: Ask for actual warranty coverage, exclusions, remedy, maintenance, notice and transfer terms.
Choose your next step deliberately
