Bring the roof history
Share the approximate installation date if known, leak locations, previous repair invoices, roof plans, and any existing warranty. An assessment should connect reported symptoms with observed roof conditions.
Compare the complete work
- Identify whether the proposal addresses localized repairs, a larger restoration scope, or replacement.
- Ask how flashing, drainage, penetrations, edge details, and substrate repairs are handled.
- Confirm access, material loading, occupied-area protection, and daily weather protection.
- Separate optional work from the base scope so proposals can be compared.
Read the proposed warranty
Product warranties and system guarantees have different terms. Ask for the actual document and any installation, inspection, or registration requirements; the name of a roof material alone does not establish coverage.
