How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for roof opening preparation is 2 each × $165.00 = $330.00. This line is one part of the complete 7-item estimate and uses a fictional unit rate.
The document sums the rounded line amounts to $2,280.00. Tax and markup are not included; a zero tax field in a sample document does not mean a real project is tax-exempt. Confirm the actual treatment for the job you are quoting.
Measurement to verify: Record roof pitch, covering type, terminal position and duct run for each vent. Selection to verify: Keep terminal, flashing and duct connector allowances distinct.
Assumptions and exclusions
Confirm a clear route and safe access before opening the roof.
Outside the stated scope: No whole-roof ventilation design, new fan or roof deck repair.
Hidden framing conflict or an unsuitable duct route changes placement. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
