A roofing estimate template prints the document a roofer hands over: shingles in squares with the waste the pitch demands, the accessories per roof type, tear-off and disposal as their own lines, labor at the crew's loaded rate, overhead and markup, and the total, with the margin the total carries for the estimator's eyes. The free template on this site does that from the material total, the waste, the hours, the subs and equipment, the overhead and the markup; The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, cited below, puts the median annual wage for cost estimators at $78,740 in May 2025, and a roofing company prices from the template rather than hiring for the sum.
Shingles with waste, accessories within
Squares at the supplier's price with the waste applied as an input, the underlayment, flashing, vents and ridge within the material total; the line prints with the waste so the customer sees the honest quantity.
Tear-off, disposal and labor
Tear-off hours within the labor line at the loaded rate, the dumpster as equipment, printed separately; a per-square price that hides them is the one the customer disputes. The free estimate template on this site prints the lines and the margin from your own takeoff and markup, and Markupbird Pro keeps the estimate against the customer and the job with the win or loss recorded against the markup.
Overhead, markup and the record
Overhead on the direct cost, markup on the cost with overhead, the margin printed times ten; Pro keeps the roof estimate against the customer with the win or loss against the markup, by roof type and season.
