How to compare roofing quotes?
A quote contains several important things that can sometimes make you lose track. Renoca has listed a few tips to make comparing quotes easier, so you can easily and quickly find the best specialist.
Tip 1: comparison schedule
Make a list in advance of the points you find important, for example price, time schedule and quality marks. To compare different companies in a clear way, you can make a comparison chart. In this schedule, you can see at a glance which company meets your requirements. Take a look at the comparison chart below for inspiration.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price + price structure | |||||||
| Work included | |||||||
| Availability | |||||||
| Duration of guarantee | |||||||
| Elabels |
Tip 2: pay attention to hallmarks
Labels show the reliability and quality of a company. There are several quality marks within the roofing industry. Check out the quote to see which seals of approval the roofing company holds. Below are some quality marks you might want to look out for.
- KOMO Hallmark: roofing companies show with this hallmark that they have been tested on the construction quality of roofs. In particular, the KOMO quality mark sets requirements for quality and safety.
- Dakmerk Certificate: Dakmerk is a quality organisation that focuses exclusively on flat roofs. They are also the only organisation for plastic and bitumen roofs. With this certificate, a roofing company shows that the roof meets e highest quality standards and you get a 10-year guarantee on the waterproofing of the roof.
