What’s Included in a Hixon’s Roof Estimate
A Hixon’s roof estimate is a full assessment of your roof’s condition — not a five-minute drive-by with a ballpark number scrawled on a business card.
When you schedule an estimate, here’s what you get:
– Full inspection of the roof surface, flashing, gutters, fascia, and soffits
– Photo documentation of every issue found, so you can see exactly what we’re looking at
– Written quote broken down by material and labor — no vague lump sums
– No obligation — the estimate is free, and there’s no pressure to sign anything on the spot
If you’re weighing asphalt shingles against a metal roof, the estimate document will include a line-by-line comparison so you’re comparing actual numbers, not guesses.
How Long an Estimate Takes
For most homeowners in our service area, we can schedule a same-day or next-day appointment. The on-site visit itself typically runs 45 minutes to an hour and a half depending on the size and complexity of the roof.
After the visit, you’ll receive the written estimate document within 48 to 72 hours. That window gives us time to pull accurate material pricing and measure the job properly — because a quote built on real measurements is worth more than a fast number that changes once work starts.
If you’re dealing with storm damage and need to move quickly for an insurance claim, let us know when you call. We prioritize those situations.
What to Expect During the Visit
When our estimator arrives, plan on being home or having someone available to answer a few questions. We’ll ask about the age of the roof if you know it, any leaks or ceiling stains you’ve noticed, and whether you’ve had any prior repairs done.
The inspection covers:
– Exterior — shingles, ridge caps, valleys, flashing around chimneys and penetrations, gutters, and drip edge
– Interior — ceiling and wall surfaces for water staining, soft spots, or daylight showing through
– Attic — if accessible, we check decking condition, signs of moisture, and ventilation setup
– Ventilation and insulation — poor ventilation is one of the most common causes of premature shingle failure in South Carolina’s heat; we flag it when we see it
– Manufacturer specifications — as a GAF Master Elite contractor, we document what installation standards apply to your project so your warranty coverage is clear from the start
We take photos throughout. You’ll receive those with the written quote, so if you’re comparing our estimate against another contractor’s, you have something concrete to reference.
Why Multiple Estimates Matter
Getting multiple estimates is the right move for any roofing project. The problem is that estimates from different contractors often aren’t built the same way, which makes comparison harder than it should be.
Things to check when you’re comparing quotes:
– Material brand and grade — a quote for a 3-tab shingle and a quote for an architectural shingle are not the same job
– Decking replacement — is it included, or priced per sheet as a separate add-on?
– Flashing — some quotes replace it, some reuse old flashing, which affects how long the installation holds
– Cleanup and haul-away — confirm it’s included and not a separate line item
– Warranty terms — a contractor’s workmanship warranty is separate from the manufacturer’s material warranty; know what covers what
Understanding roofing cost in this region helps you know whether a number is realistic or suspiciously low. Lowball quotes often leave out decking, flashing, or proper disposal — costs that surface later.
