The Vest Estimator Tool

Most homeowners wait days for a price. We built the Vest Estimator Tool so you don't have to. While we're still at your property, the inspection findings, measurements, materials, and scope go straight into the estimator and it prices the job line by line, in minutes.
You get a written, itemized estimate in your hands before our truck leaves the driveway, with the same numbers every time. No callback, no vague one-number quote, no pressure to sign anything.
Get my estimate on siteAnatomy of a Roof
Every layer that keeps water out.
A roof isn't a single product — it's a system of eighteen coordinated components. When any one of them is missed, mis-lapped, or under-nailed, the whole assembly leaks. Here's what actually goes on your house.
- Ridge
- The horizontal peak where two roof planes meet at the top — the highest line on the roof.
- Hip
- The external angle where two sloped roof planes meet, running from the ridge down to the eave.
- Hipped Edge
- The sloped edge along a hip roof where the hip meets the fascia line.
- Valley
- The internal angle where two roof planes meet — the highest-volume water path on your roof.
- Gable / Rake
- The sloped edge of a roof at the end of a gable wall, running from the eave up to the ridge.
- Gable End
- The triangular wall section enclosed by two sloping roof lines at the end of a pitched roof.
- Eave
- The lower edge of the roof that overhangs the exterior wall and channels water into the gutter.
- Drip Edge
- Metal flashing along the eaves and rakes that directs water away from the fascia and into the gutter.
- Fascia
- The horizontal trim board behind the gutter — anchor point for gutter hangers and the finish line of the roof edge.
- Soffit (underside)
- The finished underside of the eaves that closes off and vents the attic.
- Rain Gutter
- Continuous aluminum channel along the eave that collects water shed from the roof.
- Downspout
- Vertical channel that carries collected water from the gutter safely away from the foundation.
- Flashing
- Sheet-metal barrier installed at joints and edges to divert water away from vulnerable seams.
- Chimney Flashing
- Layered step and counter-flashing that seals the joint where the chimney passes through the roof.
- Skylight
- A framed, flashed glazing unit set into the roof plane to bring natural light into interior rooms.
- Dormer
- A framed structure projecting from a sloped roof, usually with its own window and roof planes.
- Abutment
- The joint where a sloped roof plane meets a vertical wall — always flashed to keep water out.
- Sidewall
- The vertical exterior wall of the home that a roof plane abuts against.
- Flat Roof
- A low-slope roof section — typically on additions, porches, or commercial buildings — that uses membrane rather than shingles.
