No, it only gives a rough range drawn from typical rates. What we find once we are up on the roof sets the real figure, which is why a written estimate comes after the free inspection.

When a wind storm or a toppled tree is what hurt the roof, a homeowners policy can pay for much of the replacement once your deductible is met. We photograph and record the damage and talk with your adjuster on site. Details are on our insurance claim help page.
