Should You Trust Online Roofing Estimators

Whether you’re looking for a roof replacement, installation, or repair, it’s natural to have questions about the price. As a result, a lot of Florida property owners find themselves looking for online roofing cost estimators. But how reliable are those, really? And what’s the alternative?

We’re Classic Roofing & Construction, and we’ve been providing reliable roofing cost estimates to Floridians for 20 years. And now, we’re passing along everything you need to know about roofing cost estimators and how you can make an informed decision about your roof.

How Do Roofing Cost Estimators Work?

There are many factors that go into calculating the cost of roofing work, but sadly online roofing cost estimators only consider a handful of these important components. This leads to property owners receiving inaccurate estimates, which can make it very difficult to make informed choices about your budget.

For example, most online roofing cost estimators only consider a few factors, like:

• The roof’s square footage
• Type of roofing material used
• General labor costs

And while these three things are extremely important in calculating the cost of your project, they are far from the whole picture. To get an accurate estimate of the total roofing costs for your home or business, you’ll need an expert to come to your property and conduct an in-person roof inspection.

Why Do I Need a Roof Inspection?

There’s no denying that online roofing cost estimators are simpler, but in this case, simple is not better. When you schedule your free roofing estimate with Classic, one of our friendly, professional roof inspectors will come to your home and provide an estimate that takes into account all of the important factors listed above and other important considerations, like:

• The slope of your roof
• State and county roofing codes
• Disposal of old or damaged roofing materials
• Condition of the current roof
• Roof penetrations (things like chimneys, skylights, etc.)

These are just a few of the additional factors not considered by online roofing cost estimators, and they all play a big role in calculating your total roofing costs. That’s why you need an in-person inspection to consider all of the relevant factors and give you a roofing estimate that you can count on.
