Diane Whitaker

Diane has estimated and managed more than 4,000 roofing projects along the Gulf Coast, a region where wind ratings, underlayment codes, and insurance claims shape nearly every job. That storm-driven market taught her precisely how square footage, pitch, material, and tear-off layers translate into a final number, and how code upgrades quietly add cost.

She also worked the exterior envelope as a whole — gutters, siding, soffit, and flashing — so she understands how these systems interact and where bundling saves money.

Diane reviews the roofing, gutter, and siding calculators to keep their per-square pricing aligned with current material and labor markets.
