Should a roofer give me a price on the first visit?
Some roofers price the job on the first visit. At GreyHawk Roofing, we inspect the roof first and then schedule a consultation to review our findings and discuss your options before estimating the work. That way you know what your roof needs before you see a price.
The inspection
During a roof inspection, the inspector evaluates the current condition of the roof and documents any damage. You should receive photos and a damage report, along with the information needed to file an insurance claim if there is storm damage.
The consultation
At the consultation, we review the findings with you and discuss the options available for your roof, including materials, colors and ventilation. For commercial roofs, we can also suggest repair and maintenance options that may extend the life of the existing roof.
Questions to ask
What did you find, and can I see the photos? Does the roof need to be repaired or replaced? What materials do you recommend, and why? Will the ventilation be addressed? What is included in the estimate?
Comparing estimates
When you compare estimates from different contractors, compare what is included in each one as well as the total price. Two estimates can cover different scopes of work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the consultation take longer?

Do I have to use GreyHawk after the inspection?
