What should a cold-climate roofing quote in Westerville cover?
In Westerville, a roofing quote should call out tear-off, underlayment, flashing, drip edge, starter strip, ridge cap, decking inspection, ice and water shield, disposal/cleanup, and the permit. In a cold climate, your quote should explicitly include ice and water shield at all eaves and valleys, a balanced ridge-and-soffit ventilation plan, and decking inspection — ice-dam damage is hidden until the next thaw. Push back if a Westerville contractor's quote skips any of these — missing line items in the bid usually surface as change orders during the job.
