For Bridget.
102 Clarendon Drive

We climbed all over this roof for the better part of a morning. Everything we found is right here: the shape you're dealing with, what it'll take to roof it right, and where every dollar goes. Read it in your own time. Nobody's standing over you.

02What we saw

We priced the scale.

This is a large roof, and the written number shows it. The scope is built around 202 squares of tear-off, 215 squares of Highlander shingles, two-story access, steep sections, and seven large chimney flashings. That is where the money starts before color ever enters the conversation.

01

It's a large roof

The tear-off is counted at 202 squares and the new Highlander shingle system at 215 squares. That much surface takes time, staging, and material. A small roof does not carry a number like this one.

02

Access changes the labor

The estimate carries two-story access across 202 squares and steep-roof labor across 78 squares. That means the crew moves slower, handles material differently, and spends more time keeping the site controlled.

03

The dry-in matters

A roof has more going on than shingles. It gets SBS, synthetic underlayment, gutter apron, drip edge, and starter strip before the field shingles tell the house's story from the street.

04

The details are real

Fifteen pipe boots, thirty-six ridge vent items, thirty bundles of RidgeFlex, and seven large chimney flashings all show up in the scope. Those are the places a roof usually leaks first, so they get counted now.

If we got it wrong

You know this house. We don't, yet.

You've lived under this roof. You know where it stains after a hard rain and what the attic smells like in August. If anything on this page doesn't square with that, tell Kyle before you even look at price. We'd rather tear up the diagnosis and start over than sell you a number that answers the wrong question.

03The number

Where the money goes.

There is one priced option on this estimate: Malarkey Highlander NEX AR for $129,644.81. The total breaks into four plain buckets. Most of it is the shingle system across 215 squares, then the roof prep, the ventilation, the access, and the flashing that make the roof work.

Estimate #5092 $129,644.81
61.3% shingle system · $79,425.30
15.8% prep, dry-in, and edges · $20,543.72
11.0% venting, ridge, and penetrations · $14,238.18
11.9% access, disposal, and flashing · $15,437.61

That is the whole number in one bar. The shingle field is the long red section because 215 squares of Highlander carries most of the cost. The other sections are the work that keeps that field from becoming a pretty layer over weak edges, blocked air, bad access, or chimney leaks.

On the number

If it stops you, tell us where.

A roof like this is real money, and it should give you a second of pause. That's fine. Before you call, just figure out which thing is actually in the way: the total, how it's paid, or what's in the scope. Those are three different conversations, and Kyle can solve any of them once he knows which one you're having.

04Field evidence

The roof, frame by frame.

These frames show the roof from the places that matter: the broad shingle fields, the chimney stack, the roof-wall corners, the venting, and the lake-side access that changes how a crew moves.

You get what you inspect,
not what you expect.How we quote, every single time

Whole property context

This is the picture I keep coming back to when the total feels big. There are multiple roof sections, tight drives, docks, parking, and water-side staging. A crew has to move through all of that without turning the property upside down.

MattersCritical
Price pullHigh

Main roof field

This frame is the square count in plain English. The roof has long, open runs that take material fast, then turns and balconies that slow the crew down. That is why the shingle line and the access line both matter.

MattersCritical
Price pullDrives it

Chimney cluster

The estimate carries seven large chimney flashings, and this is why I do not treat that as a footnote. Masonry breaks the roof plane, holds water differently, and punishes sloppy metal work.

MattersCritical
Price pullHigh

Roof cap and staining

This is a smaller piece of the roof, but it tells the right story. Penetrations and exhaust points do not cover a lot of area. They still get counted because one bad collar or cap can make a big roof feel cheap in the first hard rain.

MattersHigh
Price pullModerate

Inside roof-wall corner

Corners like this are where the roof stops being a simple shingle count. Water is coming off a wall, into a gutter, and across a tight shingle edge. We want the metal and the underlayment right before the new roof ever gets pretty.

MattersHigh
Price pullModerate

Lake-side roof geometry

This frame shows why the job is more than one big rectangle. Hips, ridges, roof breaks, and water-side access all add handling. They do not all show up as one line item, but they live inside the labor and material count.

Church roofs we have finished.

A condo roof with this much surface asks the same question a church roof asks: can the crew keep a big building organized without turning the job into a mess? These three are proof we have done that kind of work before.

On us

Ask Kyle for the closest big roof.

Photos help, but they are still photos. If you want to see how our work holds up in the real world, ask Kyle for the closest commercial or church roof we can point you toward. We would rather you look at a finished roof than take our word for it.

06Before you ask

Where we stand.

Pull up a chair and ask the hard ones. Show this page to your spouse, your brother-in-law who knows roofing, even one of those AI things. Here's where we stand on every question they'll throw at it.

Is this price fair, or am I overpaying?
Every number on this page is pulled straight from the written estimate, the same one you'd put your name on. There's no special "website price." It's all built from what we measured: the area, the waste, the valleys, the flashing, the tile you choose. Want to gut-check it? Have Kyle divide the total by the squares and you've got your price per square. Take that to any other bid, but make them match it on the same tile and the same scope. The cheap ones are almost always cheap because they left something out. Compare it line for line and you'll see it.
How do I know you actually measured my roof, and not a guess?
The quantities came from the written estimate, and the field photos and 3D model are your property. The proof photos are marked as past Locke & Ladder jobs, not your roof. Want the measurement report? It's yours, just ask. Want a second company to re-measure it? Go ahead, we'll wait. If a number ever looks off to you, call us on it and we'll show you the math.
Why is this one option so much money?
Because the roof is large and the scope is not just shingles. The Highlander line is the biggest piece, then the roof still needs tear-off, gutter apron, SBS, synthetic underlayment, drip edge, starter, ridge vent, pipe boots, access, disposal, and seven large chimney flashings. If the total is the problem, Kyle can talk through payment or scope. If a line item looks wrong, make us defend it.
What is really in this roof system?
The visible shingle is Malarkey Highlander NEX AR, but the roof works because of the layers around it. SBS and synthetic underlayment protect the deck. Gutter apron, drip edge, and starter protect the edges. Ridge vent, RidgeFlex, pipe boots, nails, sealant, and cap nails handle air movement and penetrations. Get the final warranty packet from Kyle before you sign and read what transfers, what voids it, and what Locke & Ladder covers ourselves.
What's not in this number? Will I get hit with change orders?
The bid covers everything we can see. The one thing nobody can promise until we tear the old roof off is the wood underneath it. If we find rot, that decking has to be replaced, and that's the most common add-on there is. So here's how we handle it: you get the per-sheet price now, we photograph anything we find, and we don't swing a hammer on extra work until you've said yes. Permits and the dumpster are already in the number. Ask Kyle to point them out.
Are you licensed, insured, and using your own crews?
Yep. General liability and workers' comp, and we'll hand you the certificates and our license info whenever you ask. Ask Kyle who's actually going to be on your roof, how we protect your yard and landscaping, and how we clean up before we leave each day. You should never have to wonder who's up there or who's on the hook if something goes sideways.
Is this an insurance job? Are the numbers padded for a claim?
The scope and the price reflect the work your roof needs, period, whoever's writing the check. If there's a claim, we deal with your adjuster ourselves and put the same measurements and photos in front of them that you're looking at right now. We don't run one number for you and a fatter one for the insurance company. That's how contractors end up in trouble, and we plan to be around a long while.
How do payment and scheduling work?
Looking at this page doesn't sign you up for anything. When you're ready, Kyle lays it all out: the deposit, when the payments come due, when we can start, and how long we'll be on site. All in writing, before anything's signed. Sit with it as long as you need.
This link has my name and address on it. Who can see it?
We made this page for you and sent it to you, and that's it. It's not on Google, it's not linked from anywhere, and there's no payment info on it. The day you ask, it comes down. It exists for one reason: so your price, your scope, and your proof all live in one spot you can come back to whenever.

Rather just talk it out at the kitchen table? Tell Kyle and he'll walk the whole estimate with you, line by line.
