Contractors lose thousands of dollars every year to estimation errors, missed scope items, and wasted time. Here's exactly what we fix.
Our estimating team supports a wide variety of construction projects.
Our Roofing Estimating Services provide contractors with detailed roof measurements, material calculations, labor estimates, and organized cost reports prepared directly from project drawings and specifications.
Detailed, itemized takeoff reports with quantities, costs and clear breakdown of flowing materials. Here's a preview of that.
Every report includes color-coded marked plans, itemized quantity sheets, and a full cost summary — delivered in Excel and PDF formats, ready to attach directly to your bid submission.
A Manhattan roofing takeoff from our team lists coping and edge metal, asphalt shingles, standing seam metal, TPO, EPDM, and PVC membranes, modified bitumen and built-up roofing, tapered and flat roof insulation, cover boards, underlayment and ice barrier, flashing and counterflashing, and drip edge and trim. Ice barrier, ventilation, and snow retention are measured. Corner and perimeter fastening zones and corrosion-resistant metals are included as specified. Quantities are grouped the way your roofing crews install the work, which makes pricing labor as easy as pricing material.

In Manhattan, logistics are often the biggest cost: delivery windows, crane and hoist time, sidewalk sheds, and occupied-building work all need their own line items. That's the market we estimate for every day, building roofing takeoffs for projects from office-to-residential conversions to façade (FISP) and Local Law 97 work.
Manhattan winters make ice and water shield along eaves and valleys, ventilation, and snow guards standard. We measure ice barrier by eave length and valley so these items are priced in full. Coastal roofs in the area face high winds and salt air, so specifications often require enhanced fastening, stainless or aluminum flashing, and sealed roof decks.
Our roofing estimators use RoofSnap, AppliCad, Bluebeam Revu, and PlanSwift to build each Manhattan takeoff, and they read the drawings with the NYC Construction Codes in mind, including wind-uplift zones, edge securement, ice-barrier, and insulation R-value requirements. Where the scope involves DOB NOW filings, sidewalk sheds, or Local Law 97 compliance, those costs are flagged so they are not missed at bid time. You receive an Excel workbook and marked-up PDFs, so every roofing number can be checked.
Contractors in Manhattan use us when bid volume outpaces their in-house team, and so do firms in neighborhoods such as the Financial District and Chelsea. You get a dedicated point of contact, a 24 to 72 hour turnaround, and roofing numbers you can defend at bid review. We can price roofing labor at union, prevailing-wage, or open-shop rates. City-funded work in the five boroughs is priced at the NYC Comptroller's prevailing wage schedules, and much private work here is built with union crews. Your first roofing estimate is 10% off.
We price roofing work in every part of Manhattan, from Midtown, the Financial District, and Hudson Yards to Harlem, Chelsea, and the Upper West Side, plus Tribeca, the Upper East Side, and the Lower East Side. Because estimating is done remotely from your drawings, a job in the Upper West Side gets the same turnaround as one in Midtown. For rules that apply citywide, see our New York City page.
