RoofingEstimating & Quoting3MediumOwner$ implied

Homeowner or property owner needs a roofing report written in Xactimate but doesn't want to pay for the software or high fees, and is unsure how to find a roofer to do it.

Xactimate is expensive for a one-time report; roofers may overcharge or be reluctant to provide just a report without doing the work.
