What's included

What a roofing project covers.

A quality roofing job is more than new shingles. Here's what a typical scope of work from a pre-screened roofer includes.

Roof inspection & estimate

An on-site assessment of decking, flashing, ventilation, and existing layers — with a written, itemized estimate.

Tear-off & disposal

Removal and haul-away of old shingles or panels, plus inspection of the underlying deck for rot or soft spots.

Underlayment & flashing

New synthetic or felt underlayment, ice-and-water shield in valleys and eaves, and re-flashed chimneys, vents, and skylights.

New roofing material

Asphalt shingles, metal, tile, or a flat-roof membrane installed to manufacturer spec so the warranty stays valid.

Common roofing projects

  • Full asphalt-shingle re-roof (tear-off and replace)
  • Storm or hail damage repair and insurance-claim documentation
  • Leak diagnosis and flashing repair around chimneys and vents
  • Standing-seam metal or premium tile/slate installation
  • Roof ventilation, ridge vent, and attic airflow upgrades
  • Flat or low-slope membrane (TPO/EPDM) replacement

3

Compare quotes, hire when ready

Get competing bids, ask questions, and decide on your timeline. There's no obligation and no cost to you.

How we pre-screen pros

Every roofer is checked before they reach you.

We don't hand your details to just anyone. Here's what we verify before a roofing contractor can be matched with your project.

Active state licensing

We confirm each roofer holds the contractor license their state requires before they join the network, and we re-check on a regular cycle.

Liability & workers' comp insurance

We verify general liability and, where required, workers' compensation coverage — so a fall or accident on your property isn't your problem.

Verifiable review history

We look for a track record of real, traceable customer reviews rather than a single unverified rating.

Local service area

We only match you with roofers who actually work in your zip code — not a national call center routing you elsewhere.

Roofing questions

Honest answers, no fine print.

How long does a roof replacement take?
Most asphalt-shingle re-roofs on an average single-family home are finished in one to three days, weather permitting. Larger homes, steep pitches, metal, or tile take longer. Your matched roofers will give you a project timeline with their quote.
Will my homeowners insurance cover a new roof?
Insurance typically covers sudden damage — hail, wind, a fallen tree — but not wear-and-tear or age. If you suspect storm damage, document it before repairs and ask your matched roofer to note the cause in their estimate; many help with claim documentation.
How do I know if I need a repair or a full replacement?
A few missing shingles or a single flashing leak is usually a repair. Widespread granule loss, multiple leaks, sagging, or a roof past 20–25 years often points to replacement. A matched roofer's inspection will tell you which makes sense — and you can get a second opinion.
What roofing material lasts the longest?
Asphalt shingles last 15–30 years and are the most common choice. Metal lasts 40–70 years, and tile or slate can exceed 50. Longer-lasting materials cost more up front but can be cheaper over the life of the home.
Is the quote really free?
Yes. Homative is free for homeowners. Contractors pay us when they receive a qualified match — you never pay for a quote and you're never obligated to hire.
