Roof estimates list shingle, underlayment and accessory names. How to read the GAF product lines on a roofing estimate and what to ask about each one.
A roofing estimate often lists brand and product names line by line. If your estimate names GAF products, here is how to read it.
The main line names the shingle product and color. Ask to see a sample of the color in daylight against your house.
Look for underlayment, and for leak barrier at eaves, valleys and other vulnerable spots. If an item is not listed, ask whether it is included.
Starter strips at the eaves and rakes, hip and ridge caps, and drip edge are usually listed separately. Each one has a job at an edge of the roof.
Ridge vents or other vents should be named, with how they will be installed. Ventilation affects attic heat and moisture.
Brand names do not describe workmanship. Ask how flashing at walls, chimneys and pipes will be handled, and who will be on site.
