Compare scope, not just totals
Two estimates can look similar while covering very different work.
Measurements, waste factors, product lines, and accessories may differ.
One estimate may include flashing, ventilation, or tear-off that another omits.
Decking allowances and hidden-condition language can change the final price.
Warranty coverage and manufacturer-system requirements affect scope.
Steep slopes, height, staging, and access can materially change labor.
A property-specific written estimate is the only meaningful way to price the work.
