Why Quotes Can Vary Wildly

If you’ve gathered a few roof repair or restoration quotes and found the numbers all over the place, you’re in good company. It’s an extremely common experience, and there are a few reasons behind it:

Scaffolding vs. no scaffolding.

On a single-storey, easily accessible roof this might not matter much, but on steeper or higher roofs, scaffolding alone can add thousands to a quote.

Materials and product systems differ.

Repointing and restoration quotes can vary depending on which products are used, how many tiles need replacing, and whether valleys and ridge caps need attention as well. Two roofers pricing the same job can land on different totals simply because they’re planning to use different materials or approaches to fix it.

Business size and overheads.

Bigger companies with more overheads with marketing and fleet vehicles often quote higher than a smaller operator.

Fair Roof Repair Quote

When you’re assessing whether a quote feels reasonable, look for:

• A clear breakdown of labour vs. materials
• Whether scaffolding, roof rails, or harnesses are included
• What coating, paint, or tile brand is being used
• Whether gutter cleaning, repointing, or disposal is part of the job
• Insurance and licensing details
