The Most Common Estimating Mistakes Roofing Contractors Make

Estimating mistakes cost contractors more than just time—they cost credibility and profit.

Some of the most common errors include:

• Missing code-required upgrades

• Underestimating labor complexity

• Failing to document damage properly

• Relying solely on insurance estimates

  
  

Accurate estimating requires more than software. It requires understanding scope, documentation, and how adjusters evaluate claims.

Training helps contractors learn how to spot missed items, justify pricing, and present estimates professionally—reducing disputes and increasing approval rates.
