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.
