What goes into your replacement scope

A roof replacement plan considers the existing layers, decking condition, underlayment, ice and water protection, flashing, roof edges, ventilation, and selected shingles. The written proposal identifies the work included and the conditions that may require an approved change.

  • Existing layers
  • Decking condition
  • Underlayment
  • Ice and water protection
  • Flashing
  • Roof edges
  • Ventilation
  • Selected shingles

Decking and flashing deserve a closer look

Conditions beneath existing roofing may become clearer during removal. Your proposal explains the planned decking assessment and how additional work is handled. Around chimneys, walls, and roof penetrations, the flashing scope should be clear before the work starts.

Shingle options for your home

Ask about GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles and the products specified for your proposed roof. We review the system and appearance with you before ordering. Product names describe materials; manufacturer warranty coverage depends on the selected system and its applicable terms.

Compare roof replacement estimates

Compare materials and scope as well as the final price. Ask about tear-off, disposal, decking, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, cleanup, payment terms, and warranties. Bring another proposal’s scope questions to your inspection so we can explain what our plan includes.

From inspection to your finished roof

Request your inspection, review the findings and written proposal, then approve the plan before installation is scheduled. We discuss access and staging, coordinate the work around conditions, and complete the cleanup and project review included in the scope.

What affects the price?

Roof size, pitch, access, existing layers, decking, flashing, ventilation, disposal, and material choice all affect the proposed work. An inspection gives us the information needed for a project-specific estimate. The written scope makes those cost drivers easier to understand.

Workmanship and manufacturer coverage

The written 5-year workmanship warranty applies to the work covered in your proposal. Manufacturer coverage is a separate document tied to the product or system. Review both before approving the project so you know which coverage applies and how to contact us with a concern.

  • Flashing
  • Roof edges
  • Ventilation
  • Selected shingles

Start with the source of the problem

Water stains, recurring leaks, missing shingles, or concerns around flashing are reasons to request an inspection. Tell us what you have noticed and when it occurs. The affected interior area can help explain the concern, but the source needs its own assessment.

When a repair may be the right choice

A repair may be appropriate when the issue is localized and the surrounding roof remains serviceable. Widespread wear, recurring leaks, or repeated repair needs can make replacement worth evaluating. We explain the condition and the reasons behind the proposed next step.

Understand the inspection findings

We explain the condition we can assess and the areas that deserve attention. Ask about photos of the findings and the recommended work so you can understand the problem before approving a proposal. Access and roof conditions affect what can be assessed.

A clear repair scope

Your proposal identifies the area of work, the planned repair, materials where applicable, and important limitations. Flashing, roof penetrations, damaged shingles, and surrounding conditions are considered according to the problem found. Additional work follows the approval terms in your agreement.

Repair versus replacement

For an isolated issue, ask whether a targeted repair has a reasonable chance of addressing the problem. For a roof with broader deterioration, compare the repair scope with replacement planning. An inspection provides the context; age alone does not settle the decision.

Care for the home around the repair

We discuss access and work-area protection before the job and include cleanup in the agreed scope. If you also have siding or gutter concerns near the affected area, tell us so we can discuss whether they belong in the same project.

FAQ

Questions about

your project

  • Can my roof be repaired instead of replaced?

    A repair may be suitable when the issue is localized and the surrounding roof remains serviceable. Recurring leaks or widespread deterioration may make replacement worth evaluating. We explain the condition after assessing your roof.

  • Does a water stain show exactly where the roof is leaking?

    Not necessarily. The interior stain shows where water becomes visible, while the source may be elsewhere. Tell us where you see the stain and when it appears so we can assess the concern.

  • Will the inspection obligate me to replace the roof?

    No. Requesting a free inspection does not commit you to a project. You can review the findings, proposed work, and available options before deciding.

  • Do you offer emergency or same-day repairs?

    Call about current availability. Weather, access, and scheduling affect when work can be arranged; a request does not guarantee same-day or around-the-clock service.
