Why Choose Estimating Canada
Built For Contractors Who Need It Right
Roofing estimating services for Canadian contractors
A roof estimate starts with a measurement that is harder than it looks: the true sloped area, which is bigger than the area you see on the plan. Add valleys, hips, flashings, penetrations and tear-off, and the numbers drift quickly.
We prepare roofing and siding takeoffs from your plans, in squares and square feet, with accessories and waste shown on their own lines.
| What we count and price
| Canadian roofing detail
| Waste factor
Roofing waste is normally 5 to 10% of material, shown as its own line. Simple gable roofs sit at the low end, and cut-up roofs with many hips and valleys sit at the high end.
| Measured from your plans
We measure from the drawings you send. If the plans do not show enough detail, we ask for what is missing before pricing.
| Timing
Small roofing takeoffs are normally ready in about 4 to 6 hours and larger projects in 6 to 48 hours, depending on size and urgency.
