EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Regina, Saskatchewan roof repair example has 7 itemized costs and a C$1,801.00 total before tax or markup. The PDF, quantities, unit rates and scope assumptions match the table below.
Use this completed roof repair document to see how a specific job becomes a client-facing estimate. The project, business, customer and amounts are fictional. For the localized shingle repair in Regina, Saskatchewan, the example uses the measured trade units shown in its PDF. Residential jobs may mix square feet, linear feet, counts and supplier units; keep each line’s measurement basis visible. Check exposure, access, drainage and any concealed water damage at the property. Confirm the selected product and local approval requirements before setting the final scope. The figures are fictional CAD inputs, not a local price survey.
Project scope: Localized shingle repair
Price a localized 100-square-foot shingle repair area after inspection. Include access/setup allowance, removal of affected shingles, replacement shingle and underlayment allowances, one scoped flashing repair, installation and disposal. No whole-roof replacement.

Measure this work on the actual property before using any quantity. The illustration separates supplied products or materials from installation where the selection could change. A client should be able to compare each line with the agreed work, the selected products and the limits recorded in the notes.
The 7 itemized costs in Canadian dollars
Every row below is taken from the corresponding app-exported PDF fixture. Multiply the quantity by the unit rate to check the amount. These rates were chosen for this fictional example; they are not advertised prices or current averages for Regina, Saskatchewan.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Access and setup allowance | 1 job | C$350.00 | C$350.00 |
| Affected shingle removal | 100 sq. ft. | C$2.10 | C$210.00 |
| Replacement shingles allowance | 1.2 square | C$195.00 | C$234.00 |
| Underlayment and fasteners | 1 job | C$132.00 | C$132.00 |
| Scoped flashing repair allowance | 1 job | C$250.00 | C$250.00 |
| Repair installation labour | 100 sq. ft. | C$4.85 | C$485.00 |
| Debris removal | 1 job | C$140.00 | C$140.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | C$1,801.00 | ||
Two calculation checks:
- Affected shingle removal: 100 sq. ft. × C$2.10 = C$210.00.
- Replacement shingles allowance: 1.2 square × C$195.00 = C$234.00.
The PDF shows a 0% tax entry, so the illustrated tax is C$0.00 and the total remains C$1,801.00. This only describes the example. Confirm the applicable tax treatment and any markup for the real job before issuing your estimate.
Assumptions that change the price
Identify the roof section and the problem the scoped work addresses. Keep inspection observations and the proposed repair distinct. A customer should be able to understand why these components appear in the estimate rather than seeing only a generic roof repair charge.
A roofing square represents 100 square feet of area. This example repairs 100 square feet but allows 1.2 squares of replacement shingles. The purchase allowance must be checked against the actual product, pattern and repair extent.
Name the included flashing task and its location instead of suggesting that every penetration is covered. If investigation reveals a different source of water entry, revise the repair plan and estimate before extending work beyond the original scope.
Outside this example: No whole-roof replacement, decking replacement, structural repairs, hazardous-material handling or guarantee of conditions outside the inspected repair scope.
Check exposure, access, drainage and any concealed water damage at the property. Confirm the selected product and local approval requirements before setting the final scope. An allowance is a stated placeholder, not a promise to cover all work discovered later. If a selected product, quantity or hidden condition changes, update the affected line and explain the revision before proceeding.

Common questions
What is a roofing square in an estimate?
It is an area unit equal to 100 square feet. Label it clearly so it is not confused with one square foot or one bundle of shingles.
Can a small roof repair estimate include decking replacement?
Include it only when assessed and quantified, or label it as a separate allowance. Do not imply unknown decking damage is covered by a surface repair price.
