FAQ

Good questions.

Who uses this service?

Roofing and waterproofing contractors, general contractors and building owners.

Do you cover sheet metal and sealants?

Roof-related sheet metal and sealants are included when they are in the specified scope. We state the boundary in each estimate.

Can I get quantities only?

Yes. A quantity takeoff carries no unit costs. A priced estimate states the pricing basis: your rates, Hemingway pricing inputs for the project's ZIP code, or an applicable wage determination.

What should I send?

Roof plans, sections and details, waterproofing details, Division 07 specifications and addenda.
