Homeowner roofing guide

What a clear roofing scope should explain

Two proposals can use similar headlines and still include very different work. Compare how each scope treats the roof layers, details, protection, cleanup and uncertain conditions.

01

Define the work area

The scope should make clear which slopes, roof sections or repair zones are included and what work will remain untouched.

  • Exact roof areas
  • Tear-off or overlay approach
  • Included penetrations and transitions
02

Name the system components

Product categories and accessory details should be specific enough that you understand what is being installed.

  • Decking allowance or unit price
  • Underlayment and water protection
  • Edges, starter, flashing and ventilation
03

Put protections and terms in writing

Cleanup, property protection, payment stages, change conditions and warranty terms should be written—not assumed from a conversation.

  • Debris and magnetic cleanup
  • Protection for siding, landscaping and driveways
  • Exclusions, changes and written warranty coverage

into a clear visit.

Compare the written scope—not only the final price.
