Roofing estimate template that itemizes by square

Why re-roofs go sideways

Roofing jobs lose money when line items get missed. Forget the disposal fee or underestimate flashing and the margin is gone. An itemized roofing estimate, broken out by square, makes sure every cost driver is captured before you commit to a price.

Itemize by square

Quote re-roofs the way the work is actually measured and priced:

• Tear-off — removal of existing layers, by square
• Underlayment — felt or synthetic, by square
• Shingles — by square, with waste factor
• Flashing — valleys, chimneys, vents, step flashing
• Ridge and vents — ridge cap and ventilation
• Disposal — dumpster and haul-off
• Labor — by square, adjusted for pitch and stories

Each line maps to a real cost driver, so nothing gets absorbed.

Quote repairs differently than full re-roofs

Repairs are priced by scope, not square count — a section, a leak, or storm damage. Keep a separate, simpler structure for repairs so you can turn small jobs around fast and still capture materials and a trip charge.

Enter squares once, send, get paid

Re-keying numbers is where mistakes creep in. In BidBildr you enter the squares once and the estimate builds itself into a clean, itemized bid you can send with e-signature, collect a deposit on, and convert to an invoice with online payment. Start from the contractor estimating app overview, or compare tools in best contractor estimating apps.
