A Chatsworth estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. It is the same story on most Chatsworth streets. A Chatsworth quote that comes in far below the others is in most cases missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. Cost on a Chatsworth roof covering comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath.
