“They walked the whole roof with our maintenance supervisor before they priced it. The bid named every drain and flashing, so we could compare it line against line.”

Send the building. Get a written bid.
Roofs for school districts, churches and local governments. Tell us the building and the roof area. We walk the roof before we write a word.

Each has its own paperwork, calendar and committee. The bid is written for yours.
School districts
Gyms, classroom wings, cafeterias and bus barns. Most of the work has to finish before students are back, so the bid shows the schedule.
Work planned around the school calendar
Fenced work areas and a walkway plan

The roof walk
We walk every roof before we price it
A bid written from a drawing misses what is on the roof. We go up, look at the drains, the seams and the flashing, and photograph what we find.
You get the photos with the bid, so your board or your purchasing office can see what the price is for.

How a bid works
From the invitation to a signed contract
Six steps, in order. Nothing is priced before someone has been on the roof.
- 01
Step 1: You send the building
Use the form, or send the invitation to bid. The kind of building and the roof area are enough to start.
- 02
Step 2: We walk the roof
An estimator goes up with you or your maintenance staff. We photograph the roof and note the drains, flashings, penetrations and the condition of the deck.
- 03
Step 3: We write the scope
In plain words, line by line: what comes off, what goes on, and what the bid does not include.
- 04
Step 4: You get the bid package
The bid form, the insurance certificate, a bond if you ask for one, and references for buildings like yours.
- 05
Step 5: Questions before the deadline
We answer addenda in writing and ask about anything the invitation leaves unclear.
- 06
Step 6: If we are chosen, a schedule
A pre-construction meeting with your staff: work dates, access, safety fencing and who to call about the roof.
References by building type
Who we can put you in touch with
Every bid package lists references for a building like yours: a school, a church or a public building.
“The bid explained the work on the sanctuary and the schedule around Sunday services in plain words. Our building committee could read every line.”
Angelo R.Property committee chair, church
“Our invitation had a long list of requirements. They answered every item and sent the insurance certificate with the bid.”

Before you send an invitation to bid
Do you bid public work?
Yes. Send the invitation to bid and we answer every item in it. If it asks for a bid bond, a certificate of insurance or a signed form, they go in the package.
What do you need to write a bid?
The kind of building, the roof area (a guess is fine), what is wrong or planned, and the date bids are due. We confirm everything when we walk the roof.
Can you work around our calendar?
Yes. School years, services and events decide when the roof can be open. The dates go in the bid, and we settle them at the pre-construction meeting.
Do you only replace roofs?
No. We repair first when a repair makes sense, and we say so in writing when it does not.
Which licenses and certifications do you hold?
They are listed in the footer of every page, with the board that issued each one. If your invitation asks for one we do not list, ask before you bid.
Who pulls the permit?
The bid says whether the permit is ours or yours. It depends on the work and on your city or county.
Have an invitation to bid? Send it over.
We read it from the first page to the last, and we tell you early if there is something we cannot meet.
