See how it reads
A chimney flashing repair.
An illustrative writing example. The quantities, repair method, price, and warranty must come from your inspection and chosen materials.
Start with the site notes
“Leak near chimney. Lifted shingles beside flashing. Check affected area, replace damaged flashing and shingles as needed. Decking condition unknown. Interior repairs excluded.”
Describe the included work
Protect the work area. Remove the identified shingles and flashing around the affected chimney junction. Inspect the exposed area, then install the specified replacement components and compatible shingles within the marked repair boundary. Collect and remove debris from this work.
Explain what needs separate approval
This estimate covers the identified repair area. Interior ceiling finishes, chimney masonry, unrelated roof areas, and concealed decking repairs are excluded. If hidden damage appears, document it and agree on the additional work and price before proceeding.
Make the price easy to follow
- Materials: [specified products, quantities, and amount]
- Labor and access: [included work and amount]
- Cleanup and disposal: [amount, or state that it is included]
- Tax, total, and payment terms: [confirmed job details]
If you include an allowance for uncertain work, label it as a provisional amount. State what it covers, whether it is included in the total, and how the final cost will be approved. Keep it separate from the confirmed flashing repair.
A draft organizes your information. It does not diagnose the leak, measure the roof, or determine which installation method is suitable.
For a fuller repair outline, use the roof repair scope checklist.
Before it reaches the homeowner
Check the details that change the job.
- Boundaries: identify the roof area and what happens outside it.
- Measurements: confirm quantities against your inspection or measurement report.
- Hidden damage: describe the approval process for additional work.
- Timing: state the expected start window and weather assumptions.
- Warranty: use the terms you actually provide and distinguish them from a manufacturer warranty.
- Approval: identify the document version, total, payment terms, and how the customer accepts it.

Common questions
Using the template.
Is this roofing estimate template free?
Yes. This page includes a free copy-paste roofing estimate template. It is ungated and can be adapted for your own roofing workflow.
Can I use it for roof repairs and replacements?
Yes. The template can be adapted for leak repairs, chimney flashing repairs, shingle repairs, small roof replacements, storm follow-up, and maintenance-driven repairs.
Should a roofing estimate include exclusions?
Yes. Exclusions help the homeowner understand what is not included, such as interior drywall, full roof replacement, hidden structural damage, or rotten decking that needs separate approval.
Can I use this with measurement reports?
Yes. You can paste relevant details from a measurement report into the template. Contractors should still review measurements, pricing, materials, and final scope before sending.
What is the difference between a roofing estimate and a roofing proposal?
An estimate usually focuses on price and basic scope. A proposal adds client-ready context: what is included, what is excluded, how the work will be handled, timeline, warranty, and approval steps.
Can AI write a roofing proposal from this template?
Propovio can help turn rough roofing notes or template details into a cleaner proposal draft. The contractor still reviews pricing, measurements, warranty language, and final details before sending.
