Proposal

Full Roof Replacement · Architectural Shingle, 28 Squares

Scope

Project overview

Complete tear-off and replacement of the existing asphalt shingle roof, 28 squares, including a full inspection of the decking underneath.

Materials

Architectural asphalt shingles rated for 130 mph winds, synthetic underlayment, and ice-and-water shield along eaves and valleys.

Scope of work

Tear off and haul away the existing roof, inspect and replace any damaged decking (billed per sheet if found), install underlayment and shingles, and replace all flashing, pipe boots, and ridge vents.

Timeline

Weather permitting, the full tear-off and re-roof takes 2 working days, with a dumpster on site for the duration.

Warranty

30-year manufacturer shingle warranty plus a 10-year workmanship warranty on the installation.

Tear-off & disposal of existing shingles (28 squares)$2,600.00
Synthetic underlayment & ice/water shield$1,400.00
Architectural shingle installation (28 squares)$9,800.00

Terms

A 30% deposit secures your spot on the schedule; the balance is due upon completion and passed inspection. This proposal is valid for 30 days from the date sent, after which material pricing may be updated. If we find deck damage or additional layers to remove once tear-off begins, we'll stop, show you photos, and get written approval before continuing.

How to write a roofing proposal

  1. 01

    Inspect before you price, not just measure from satellite

    Get on the roof or use close-up photos before quoting. Decking condition and layer count change the job in ways a satellite measurement tool can't show.

  2. 02

    Break out materials from labor

    Shingles, underlayment, and flashing are separate costs from tear-off and install labor. Itemizing them shows the client where the money goes and makes your bid easier to trust.

  3. 03

    Note what happens if you find deck damage

    Rotten decking under old shingles is common and expensive to guess at upfront. State how it's priced and approved so it doesn't turn into a dispute mid-tear-off.

  4. 04

    Include the warranty terms

    Separate the manufacturer's material warranty from your own workmanship warranty. Homeowners comparing roofers weigh both heavily.

  5. 05

    Price with a short validity window

    Shingle and underlayment costs move with supplier pricing. A 30-day window protects your margin without making the client feel rushed.

  6. 06

    Follow up fast

    Roofing customers often collect three or more bids within a week. A quick, professional proposal and a prompt follow-up keep you in the running.

Roofing proposal FAQ

What should a roofing proposal include?

Materials and their ratings, the full tear-off and install scope, the timeline, warranty terms (manufacturer and workmanship), and itemized pricing.

How long should a roofing proposal be?

One page is typically enough. Homeowners want the material specs, warranty, and total price without wading through boilerplate.

How do I price a roofing job?

Most roofers price per square (100 sq ft) for tear-off, underlayment, and shingle installation, then add flashing, ventilation, and cleanup as separate line items.

When should I follow up after sending a roofing proposal?

Within a few days. Roof replacements are big-ticket decisions and homeowners are usually comparing multiple bids in a short window.

What happens if you find rotted decking mid-tear-off?

Stop, document it with photos, and get written approval on the added cost before replacing it. Never assume approval on a change this size.

Should the proposal mention wind or storm warranty separately?

Yes if your shingle line offers one. A wind-rating callout (like the 130 mph rating above) is a real selling point worth naming explicitly, not folding into generic 'warranty' language.
