Good morning. Thank you for the update. While I appreciate the prompt assessment, $8,500 seems a bit low. My contractor’s estimate for the repairs came in at $11,000, and that includes the cost of quality materials to match the existing roof.
English
早上好。谢谢您的更新。虽然我很感谢迅速的评估，但8,500美元似乎有点低。我的承包商的维修估价是11,000美元，其中包括使用优质材料与现有屋顶相匹配的费用。

Certainly. Their estimate accounts for the specific type of shingles needed to match the existing ones, which are a higher grade than standard. It also includes disposal fees for the damaged materials, and a more comprehensive clean-up, which wasn't clearly itemized in your report.
English
当然。他们的估价考虑了与现有瓦片相匹配所需的特定类型瓦片，这些瓦片比标准等级更高。它还包括损坏材料的处理费，以及更全面的清理，这在您的报告中没有明确列出。

I see. Matching existing materials can indeed add to the cost. Regarding the disposal fees and comprehensive clean-up, those are typically factored into the overall labor cost, but I can certainly re-evaluate that line item. Would you be able to send over your contractor's detailed estimate for us to review?
English
我明白了。匹配现有材料确实会增加成本。关于处理费和全面清理，这些通常会计入总劳务费中，但我当然可以重新评估该项目。您能否将您的承包商的详细估价发给我们审查？
