Scope of Work & Bid Worksheet
Roof — Storm Damage Repair
Roofers are invited to quote. It helps if you can price all four options below and give a squares count with each — that is what makes bids comparable — but quote in whatever form suits you.
The roof, plainly
A tree came down on the house on March 13, 2026. It struck the front-lower plane and the upper-left section. Everything outside the strike zone is 14-year-old architectural shingle in good condition with roughly ten to fifteen years of life left. The back slope has some moss — that’s a cleaning job, not damage.
The attached garage sits under the same continuous roof. Garage shingles are funded from this roof allowance, not from the garage budget, so coordinate with the garage contractor and don’t price the same squares twice.

Why the owner is leaning toward repair, not replacement. The insurance settlement holds back part of the roof money as depreciation, and on this policy the roof depreciation is non-recoverable — it does not come back when the work is finished. The roof is the one trade on this project where completing more work does not release more money.
Practically: $10,916 is the cash available for the roof, finished job or not. A full replacement would run well past that and the difference comes out of the owner’s pocket. Repairing the damaged sections is the path this project can fund. Option 4 is still priced so the owner can see the whole picture — not because it is the expected award.
Bid Worksheet — the funded roof scope
This worksheet is offered as a tool, not a requirement. Use it if it helps you work up your quote — or ignore it entirely and bid in your own format. Nothing here obligates you to price line by line, to match these figures, or to submit anything on this form. The figures are shown so you know the budget before you spend time on an estimate.

Scope options — the four ways to price it
This worksheet is offered as a tool, not a requirement. Use it if it helps you work up your quote — or ignore it entirely and bid in your own format. Nothing here obligates you to price line by line, to match these figures, or to submit anything on this form. The figures are shown so you know the budget before you spend time on an estimate.
| Option | Squares | Your price ($) | Your $ / square | vs $10,916 available |
|---|
The insurance estimate prices this roof as one whole-roof figure — it does not break out an allowance per section. So there is no per-option funded number to compare against; the two useful checks are the $10,916 of available cash and your cost per square. For reference, the insurance estimate works out to roughly $730 per square at replacement cost across about 26 squares, which includes tear-off, materials, tax and overhead & profit.
Gutters, fascia and soffit — funded on the House page
The damaged gutters and downspouts ($1,259) and the fascia and soffit ($3,307) are funded in the estimate’s Front Elevation group, not the roof group. They are priced on the House worksheet so the same work isn’t counted on two pages.
If you want that work as part of your roofing bid, price it there and say so — it can be awarded together. Unlike the roof, the held-back portion on those lines is recoverable on completion.
Gutter guards are not covered by the insurance at all. They are an upgrade paid out of the owner’s own pocket, so please price them as their own separate line rather than folding them into a gutter price.
What to include with your quote
An itemized breakdown
Tear-off, ice & water shield, underlayment, shingles, drip edge, flashing, ridge vent, disposal — each on its own line. The insurance reimburses against itemized lines; a single lump sum can’t be matched to the estimate and slows the whole thing down.
Your squares count
State how many squares each option covers. This is the single most useful number on the quote — without it, no two bids can be compared.
Certificate of insurance
General liability and Ohio workers’ compensation, with the owner named as certificate holder. Required before any work starts, no exceptions.
Registered business name
The legal entity name for the contract, not a trade name. Ohio requires the registered name, taxpayer ID and business phone on residential jobs over $25,000.
Warranty terms in writing
State the workmanship warranty and confirm in writing that it covers the roof itself, not only the gutters.
Gutter guards priced separately
Guards are an upgrade the insurance does not cover, so they are the owner’s own money. Show them as their own line rather than folding them into the gutter price.
- Payment is by check. Please don’t build a card-processing surcharge into the price.
- The selected contractor registers with the City of Richmond Heights as contractor of record.
- Figures shown are the owner’s funded targets from the Progressive / American Strategic Insurance adjuster’s estimate. They are context for your bid, not a directive on how to price your work.
