Project scope: One existing roof opening

Replace one roof window or skylight in the existing suitable opening, with matching flashing kit and interior edge repair.

The matching guide (https://quicklyestimates.com/en-ca/guides/how-to-estimate-skylight-replacement/) explains how measurement, product selection and site conditions affect the estimate.

The 7 CAD cost lines

The table uses the exact items, quantities and unit rates in the app-exported PDF. Multiply each quantity by its rate to check the amount. These chosen figures demonstrate the document; they are not surveyed prices or suggested rates for Calgary, Alberta.

Skylight replacement example · CAD Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |

Opening and access survey | 1 job | C$330.00 | C$330.00 |

Temporary roof protection | 1 job | C$305.00 | C$305.00 |

Old skylight removal | 1 each | C$385.00 | C$385.00 |

Skylight unit allowance | 1 each | C$1,390.00 | C$1,390.00 |

Flashing kit allowance | 1 set | C$360.00 | C$360.00 |

Installation and weathering | 1 each | C$820.00 | C$820.00 |

Interior trim and cleanup | 1 job | C$410.00 | C$410.00 |

Illustrative subtotal | C$4,000.00 |

Check the arithmetic

- Old skylight removal: 1 each × C$385.00 = C$385.00.
- Skylight unit allowance: 1 each × C$1,390.00 = C$1,390.00.

The rounded line amounts add to C$4,000.00 . The PDF's tax field is 0%, so its illustrated total stays C$4,000.00 before any markup. The sample shows 0% tax only to make the arithmetic visible. Determine any applicable GST, HST or PST and markup for the actual work before sharing a quote.

Measurement to verify: Measure the structural opening, roof covering type, pitch and interior reveal. Product decision: Keep unit, manufacturer-matched flashing and interior finish allowance separate.

Count the actual units, site visits and selected products separately. A count in this example is a document input, not a substitute for inspecting the real property.

Assumptions and exclusions

Confirm product and safe roof access before removing the old unit.

Outside this example: No new roof opening, ceiling renovation or concealed structural repair.

Rotten curb or incompatible opening changes framing and waterproofing scope. Review access, grades, drainage and seasonal conditions at the property. Check utility locations, product availability and any local design or municipal requirements that apply to the real scope. Confirm a change and update the estimate before adding work that was not in the base scope.
