How many feet of drip edge
How many feet of valley
How many feet of ridge cap
etc.
Right, and, WHAT singles do you want ? Nail strips, 8, 10, 12, etc. to a strip, all adds up. Always ask A LOT of questions, especially which TECHNIQUES they use for the "peaks and valleys", ridges, etc. ASK a LOT OF QUESTIONS ! A roof, is a roof, is a roof is NOT a good way to be thinking. The 10K roof and the 12K roof could have a great deal of difference in HOW the roof is done, there are a LOT of short cuts ! If you have little technical knowledge about actual installation methods, EDUCATE yourself, if you can't do that, find an "old timer" retired roofer, they know ALL the little shortcuts, including nail strips with fewer nails, something as simple as 8 or 12 to a strip can save a lot of money for a roofer, but not be so good for YOU !
