How to get the best price for a roofing replacement or repair

1. Arrange a visit – most roofing companies will expect to visit your property to be able to indicate a price, even if it’s only to replace tiles and clean gutters.
2. Expect an estimate rather than a fixed-price quote – roofers don’t know the condition of what’s under a roof until then begin work, so it can be challenging to give an exact price until the existing roof is removed.
3. ALWAYS request for quotes or estimates in writing – make sure they are ‘fully inclusive’. This means they include all materials, scaffolding, GST, labour and rubbish removal.
4. If you don't understand something make sure you ask – if you notice that one roofing contractor includes an item that another doesn’t, ask about it. Don’t go ahead without fully understanding what you are paying for. Roofing work is too big and too expensive to allow room for confusion and misunderstanding.
5. Know that the cheapest isn’t always best – read their reviews on Google, their website and Facebook page.
6. Understand and communicate your timeline – how urgently do you need the work completed? If you are not in a rush, arranging estimates or quotes in advance will give you (and the roofer) flexibility to lock down a date.
