Understand why replacement is being considered
Share known roof age, previous repairs and the problems that keep returning. Ask how the condition supports the proposed scope. Comparing a replacement with a repair is easier when both proposals explain what each option includes and leaves unchanged.
Compare complete proposals
Discuss removal of existing material, preparation of the receiving surface, the selected roofing system and associated details. Ask how any concealed damage will be handled if discovered. Material names alone do not show whether two estimates cover the same work.
Plan access, materials and cleanup
Confirm delivery access, parking, protection around the home and removal of discarded material. Review the schedule and any inspection or approval responsibilities before the start date. Manufacturer coverage and workmanship terms should be stated in the actual proposal rather than assumed from this page.
Prepare your roof replacement request
Use the checklist alongside this page to organize the information needed for a useful first conversation. The final scope depends on the property, conditions and selected materials.

Can you compare repair and replacement?
Ask for an explanation of the roof condition and the practical difference between the options. The recommendation should be based on the property rather than a universal age rule.
Is roof replacement priced per house?
The roof size, shape, access, material and existing condition affect the scope. An estimate for a neighboring property is not a reliable quote for your home.
Are warranties included?
Ask for the specific product documentation and any written workmanship terms in your proposal. Confirm those terms for the materials and work actually proposed.
