A roof consultation checks what a calculator cannot: the condition underneath, flashing, ventilation and whether a repair makes more sense.

How this planning range works
This illustration assumes asphalt shingles, one layer to remove and a planning allowance of $5–$9 per square foot. Shape adds an illustrative 15% or 30%. These are sample planning assumptions, not True Vision’s rates. Hidden repairs, code requirements and material choices can move a written estimate outside this range.
No contact details needed to explore. This is a planning illustration, not a quote or an insurance payout.

What does a roof replacement involve?
A replacement generally includes removing the existing roofing, checking the roof deck and installing the agreed roofing system. The written scope should explain the materials, flashing, ventilation and cleanup. Hidden damage may change the work once the old materials come off.
The consultation is the time to ask how those changes will be handled. A clear estimate explains the known work and how additional repairs will be discussed before they proceed. It also gives you a basis for comparing proposals that include different materials or details.
Could a repair solve the problem?
A leak or a few damaged shingles do not automatically mean you need a full replacement. The roof’s overall condition, the location of the damage and the ability to make a durable repair all matter. Age is useful context, but it is not a diagnosis by itself.
Tell us when you first noticed the issue and whether it follows wind or rain. Water stains inside may help locate the problem, but you should not climb onto the roof to investigate. We can discuss repair and replacement options during the consultation.

Book a roof consultWhat should you do after wind or hail?
Check for visible damage from a safe location. Keep people away from loose materials, damaged structures and downed power lines. Call 911 when there is immediate danger. If water is entering the home, call to discuss urgent availability and ask your insurer about reasonable steps to limit further damage.
Photos taken safely can help document what you noticed. Record the date and keep receipts for any emergency work. Your insurer can explain what documentation it needs. A contractor can describe roof conditions and proposed repairs; the insurer decides coverage.
How can you plan a replacement budget?
Roof area, shape, materials, access and hidden repairs affect the price. A steep roof with several valleys is a different project from a simple roof of the same area. Flashing, ventilation and the condition of the deck also need attention.
Use the planning calculator on this page for an illustrative range. It does not measure your home or quote True Vision’s rates. The roof consultation turns that starting point into a discussion about your property and a written estimate for the agreed work.
Replacement cost or actual cash value?
Check the roof-specific coverage terms in your policy. Replacement cost coverage generally pays to replace covered damage with similar materials, subject to policy conditions and limits. Actual cash value subtracts depreciation for age and wear. Your roof may have different settlement terms from the rest of the home.
Ask your agent whether depreciation is recoverable and what conditions or deadlines apply. The NAIC guide to replacement cost and actual cash value explains the distinction. The consultation can document the proposed roof work, but it cannot determine your policy benefits.
Is your deductible fixed or a percentage?
A deductible can be a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of the dwelling coverage listed in your policy. A separate wind or hail deductible may apply. Read the declarations and relevant endorsements, then ask your agent which amount applies to your situation.
For example, 1% of $300,000 in dwelling coverage is $3,000. It is not 1% of the contractor’s roof estimate. Deductibles, depreciation, exclusions and limits can leave costs for you to pay. The insurance department’s deductible explanation provides a general reference; your own policy governs.

Book a roof consultChoosing roofing materials for your home
Discuss appearance, maintenance, roof design and budget before choosing a material. Asphalt shingles are a common option, while other systems may suit different goals. Ask which products the contractor installs and how their warranties apply to your project.
A product warranty and a workmanship warranty cover different things. Read the terms instead of relying on a headline number. Ventilation and installation details matter too. The consultation should leave you with a clear understanding of what is proposed and why it fits your roof.
Preparing for the work
The schedule depends on the size and complexity of the roof, material availability and weather. Ask for a project-specific timeline before work starts. Confirm where deliveries and debris containers will go, which vehicles need moving and how the crew will protect access to your home.
Keep children and pets clear of the work area. Discuss noise, cleanup and any special concerns in advance. At the end, walk through the completed work with the contractor and collect the agreed warranty and project documents.

Frequently asked questions
Does a roof leak mean I need a replacement?
Not necessarily. The location of the leak and the condition of the rest of the roof help determine whether repair or replacement makes sense. Book a roof consultation to discuss the options.
Does the calculator provide a quote?
No. It shows an illustrative budget based on sample planning assumptions. A written estimate follows a property-specific assessment and may fall outside that range.
Will insurance cover the replacement?
Your insurer decides coverage under your policy. Check the roof settlement terms, deductible, exclusions and limits with your insurance agent.
