Commercial Roof Estimator

For 31 years, L.E. Roofing has defined quality, craftsmanship, and reliability in commercial roofing across Colorado. Our company is built on precision, integrity, and a relentless drive to provide turnkey roofing solutions that stand the test of time.

We’re a high-performance, highly competitive outfit equipped with our own metal shop (with break and shear), a full equipment fleet (manlifts, telehandlers, crane, roll-offs, delivery rigs, and motorized tear-off equipment), and a dedicated team committed to safety and excellence.

L.E. Roofing consistently maintains one of the highest bid win rates in the industry. We specialize in federal, state, and local government projects, and we’re built to handle multiple large-scale jobs simultaneously with efficiency and precision.

We’re seeking an experienced Commercial Roof Estimator—someone fluent in roofing language who can thrive in a fast-paced, detail-driven environment and help us continue setting the standard for roofing excellence in Colorado.

This position is responsible for evaluating project scopes, performing accurate takeoffs, preparing detailed estimates, and assisting with project management from award to completion. The ideal candidate has strong commercial roofing knowledge, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.
