Roofing inspections inform contractors on the extent of damages that need fixing. Contractors then provide advice on if a repair or reroof is needed with itemized costs shown in an estimate.

Traditionally, contractors take pictures during an inspection to show homeowners prior to providing an estimate. Images tend to include the entire roof: damaged and undamaged portions.

Choosing The Right Roofer
The terms “estimate” and “quote” have long been stress-inducing to homeowners because they illicit a sense of obligation to the roofing company. There should never be any compulsion to sign a contract after an inspection and estimate have been given.
At ARC, we’ll never haggle you to sign with us, in fact we even provide competitor contact information so you can compare offerings. That is how confident we are in our value proposition to you and how meaningful it is to us that you end up with the right roofer (which we are quite sure is us).
