Scope notes printed on the estimate
- Rot usually starts at a gutter or drip-edge problem; the cause is named on the estimate so the repair is not repeated in three years.
- Rafter tail damage found behind the fascia is a structural line priced at the stated hourly rate before closing up.

Roofer rates and estimates: FAQ
- What should roofers charge per hour in 2026?
- The national median roofer wage is about $26.65 an hour, derived from the $55,440 annual median (BLS OEWS May 2025). A common rule of thumb for roofers billing customers is 2 to 2.5 times the wage to cover overhead, insurance, vehicle, non-billable time, and profit: roughly $55 to $65 an hour. That range is a starting point, not market data; set your own rate.
- What goes into a soffit and fascia repair estimate?
- This template breaks the job into 3 labor lines, from "remove gutter section and open the damaged run" through "wrap in aluminum or prime and paint, rehang gutter", lists the usual materials with quantities left open, and prints 2 scope notes so assumptions and exclusions are in writing before work starts.
- Is the template really free?
- Yes. The estimate and invoice CSVs download free with no signup. The $24 per-trade bundle adds editable spreadsheet versions, every job type for your trade, and labor rates refreshed with each BLS release.
