Terms of use

By using The Roofing Manual (theroofingmanual.com), you agree to these terms. They are short and written to be read.

What this site provides

Educational content and free informational calculators about residential roofing. Everything here is general information, not professional services. No contractor-client, adviser-client, or any other professional relationship is created by reading pages or using tools on this site.

Estimates are estimates

Calculator results are informational approximations based on stated assumptions and typical values. They are not quotes, bids, appraisals, or promises of cost or outcome, and they should not be your sole basis for financial, insurance, or construction decisions. The disclaimer is part of these terms.

Acceptable use

• Personal, non-commercial use of the tools and content is welcome, links to any page are welcome.
• Do not scrape at abusive volume, republish our content wholesale, misrepresent it as your own, or use the site in any unlawful way.
• Brief quotations with attribution and a link are fine and appreciated.

Third-party links and services

We are not responsible for third-party content, and a link is not an endorsement unless it says it is. Advertising on this site is served by third parties as described in the privacy policy.
