1. Inspect safely
Review roof planes, edges, flashings, penetrations, drainage, attic evidence, ventilation, and interior symptoms.
2. Define conditions
Document material, layers, deck uncertainty, access, pitch, staging, and surrounding property protection.
3. Compare written scopes
Clarify tear-off, deck allowances, underlayment, ice barrier, flashing, ventilation, disposal, cleanup, permits, and warranties.
4. Protect and verify
Weather protection, daily cleanup, magnetic sweeps, detail review, and closeout documents belong in the plan.
