Estimating Roof Price
As with any major job that needs doing to the house one of the most important factors that is likely to play on your mind is the cost. Roof price is made up of several factors, that we discuss below, and you should always be careful that you arent compromising quality or service in order to lower the roof price by a few dollars. Many roofing contractors will provide similarly price quotes but you should always ensure that you are comparing them on a like for like basis and dont forget that the cheapest offer isnt necessarily the best value for money and the most expensive offer isnt necessarily the worst value for money.
Materials
Materials will be one of the biggest factors involved in calculating your roof price and while it is possible to reduce the cost by using different types of material you have to remember that this can often lead to a false economy. If using a different material means a saving of 10% on your roof price, but the material will last 30% less time then your best option is to choose the more expensive material. Obviously it is important that you select materials that are hard wearing and good looking where required but are also cost effective. You should have selected a roofing contractor that you have some faith in and discussing the particular materials with him or her will usually give you the answers you are looking for.
Labor
Labor cost may vary slightly from one contractor to another but not by very much and it is certainly unlikely to be an area that can be negotiated. Within your roof price will be charges for all laborers including the people who strip your roof and load the skip. Any preliminary work you can do yourself is always advisable and if you are able to do any of the menial work yourself then you should consider this also. You need to check the terms of liability insurance with the roofing contractor first though and agree the tasks you will complete yourself before negotiating a contract. This really can make a difference to your roof price.
Profit
This is the area that may have a little room for negotiation but every company needs to make a profit. Get quotes from small companies and from large companies and compare the roof price associated with these quotes. While small companies may not require the same level of profit as the larger companies, they will usually have to pay more for materials and other factors making the bottom line roof price very similar.
Contingencies and other costs
Things can go wrong, even to professionals. Roof work is by no means any different and roofing contractors may include a contingency fund in their quote. This means that if they do come across a problem then they wont need to persuade you to part with more money before they can continue. You should, of course, find out what happens to this contingency fund if it isnt required. You may think you are better off having the contingency fund taken out of the roof price but prepare yourself for having to stump up extra money if you do try this.

We were really happy with the quality! We purchased 2 sets and think that they look great in our little court yard garden. Even my cats are impressed!! They arrived earlier than first expected however I was kept up to date on its delivery process with the easy to check tracker link. My husband said they were really simple to put together as came with clear instructions and simple screws etc. Super happy with these, especially as I can enjoy my birthday weekend with them in the sunshine!!

This bench could not have been easier to put together. I'd also like to mention that it keeps the rain out. It's a good size for odds and ends, but of course doesn't hold much.

These are small footprint but medium impact. They don’t come with anything in them and I wouldn’t put live plants in them. Luckily I had some fake succulents from another decoration that I pieced out to put in these. Looks cute!

Perfect for what I wanted and is a bonus extra seat. Easy to put together except for squeezing the top to slip into the pivot rod. It took more strength than I had. Good quality and a good buy.

Easy to assemble (if you take your time!) and very spacious - exactly what we needed to store a load of cushions for a corner sofa set.

I ordered this for gardening tools and live in an area with a lot of rain. I am very happy with how watertight it is and how easy it was to put together. The top takes a strong person to snap into place but other than that, this is well worth it. Now that I have been using it for a while I am surprised by how cheap this was. Definitely worth it.
