Roofing Estimating
Pitch-adjusted roof squares, tapered polyiso packages, TPO, EPDM, PVC and SBS membranes, standing-seam metal, asphalt shingles with eave protection, gutters and siding takeoffs.
Technical Overview
Roofing takeoffs depend on pitch factors, parapet heights, tapered crickets, wind-uplift zones, coping length and warranty fees. We add NBC snow-load and eave-protection requirements, two-ply SBS systems common in Canada, and CRCA or RoofStar guarantee requirements where specified.
