What to look for before signing
- Does the proposal include tear-off, disposal, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, cleanup, permits, and inspection?
- How will soft decking, fascia, skylights, gutters, or solar panels be priced if discovered later?
- Which product line, manufacturer warranty, and workmanship warranty are actually included?
- What is the payment schedule, and what would legitimately change the final price?
- Are you comparing the same roof system across each contractor proposal?
