Quick Answer
What Is Roofing Estimating?
Roofing estimating calculates the materials and labor needed to install or replace a roof system. The estimator measures roof area in squares (100 SF each), adjusted for pitch. Hips, valleys, ridges, rakes and eaves are measured, and underlayment, flashing, edge metal, vents and accessories are counted. Tear-off, disposal, deck repairs and code-required upgrades are priced for re-roofs.
In Florida, roof estimates must reflect high-wind requirements. That includes sealed roof decks or secondary water barriers, enhanced fastening, Florida Product Approval, and in Miami-Dade and Broward the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone provisions and NOA-approved systems. Roof insurance claims are covered by our Xactimate estimating.

Roofing Estimates Built for Florida's Wind and Rain
Florida roofs have to survive hurricanes, and the code reflects that. Underlayment requirements, deck re-nailing on re-roofs, tile attachment methods, edge metal gauges and fastening patterns all change the cost. Our roofing estimators take off every roof plane and adjust for pitch and waste. We measure every linear element and price the system exactly as specified or as required by the code.
For steep-slope roofs we price shingles, concrete or clay tile and metal panels. For low-slope commercial roofs we price TPO, PVC, modified bitumen and built-up systems with tapered insulation, crickets and edge details.
Re-roof estimates include tear-off and disposal, deck inspection and replacement allowances, code-required re-nailing and secondary water barriers, and permit and inspection costs. For roofing contractors, we deliver takeoffs ready for bidding. For property managers and HOAs, we provide independent budgets to compare roofer proposals.
After storms, we prepare roof claim estimates in Xactimate and full storm reconstruction estimates.

Florida Expertise
Florida Factors That Change Roofing estimating Costs
Florida’s codes, climate and market conditions add costs that generic national estimating data routinely misses.
HVHZ Requirements
Miami-Dade and Broward require HVHZ-compliant systems with Miami-Dade NOAs and specific attachment and inspection requirements.
Secondary Water Barrier
Florida code requires sealed roof decks or secondary water barriers on many roofs, adding material and labor.
Re-Roof Code Upgrades
Re-roofs may trigger deck re-nailing and roof-to-wall connection upgrades, which we price per the current code.
