The Problem With Buying a Roof
The Problem: Getting a new roof is notoriously stressful. Between finding a reliable contractor, wondering if you're being overcharged, and dealing with pushy salespeople taking up hours of your evening, the whole process is exhausting.
The Agitation: Many roofers hide their pricing until the very end of a long pitch, tack on hidden fees for dumpsters or permits, and cut corners on installation just to maximize their profit. You're left feeling pressured and unsure if you're getting a quality roof.
The Solution: At Inspector Roofing, we believe in radical transparency. Use our instant quote tool to get a baseline price in seconds—no salesperson required. When you're ready, we offer 100% all-inclusive pricing, elite manufacturer certifications, and roofs built strictly to code.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this satellite quote?
This tool uses high-resolution satellite imagery and LiDAR data to calculate the footprint, pitch, and surface area of your roof. While highly accurate for initial quoting, a final on-site physical inspection is always required to confirm deck health, exact tie-ins, and final dimensions before materials are ordered. All estimates are negotiable as this is a rough estimate.
What is a "Roofing Square"?
In the roofing industry, a "square" equals 100 square feet of roof surface area (a 10ft x 10ft area). Contractors price jobs by the square rather than by individual square feet because materials like shingles and underlayment are bundled and sold by the square.
Why do you include a "Waste Factor"?
Roofs are rarely perfect rectangles. When shingles reach the edge of a hip, valley, or rake, they must be cut to fit, creating unusable scrap. We mathematically calculate a 10% to 15% waste factor (depending on how steep or complex the roof is) to ensure we order enough material to finish the job.
What is the difference between 3-Tab and Architectural shingles?
3-Tab shingles are flat, single-layer shingles that offer a basic look and typically last 15-20 years. Architectural (or dimensional) shingles are thicker, multi-layered shingles that provide a textured, premium look, better wind resistance, and often come with 30-year or limited lifetime warranties.
