A great deal of the work done by roofing contractors is repair. Homeowners will hire the contractor to repair damage that has been caused by a storm, a falling object such as a tree limb or water ingress. Prior to doing any work, the roofing contractor will inspect the roof to determine the extent of the damage. Once the contractor knows the damage, he is then in a position to prepare a quotation which gives the cost to do the work, and usually includes a listing of the materials that are required. Other than material, which is sourced from a supplier, the other cost elements are labor and overhead. Often, a self employed roofing contractor has lower overhead than a large firm, thus being able to win business. It is common for the homeowner to receive offers from multiple contractors, selecting the one that suits them best.
