01 / EXAMPLE SCOPE
Assessment planning
$150–$350Illustrative inspection allowance; access and scope confirmed first.
Discuss this scope
THE WHOLE SYSTEM. NOT JUST THE SHINGLES.
A better viewfrom the top.
Thoughtful roof repairs, replacement planning, and the details that keep a roofing system working together.

Then make a plan.
Thoughtful roof repairs, replacement planning, and the details that keep a roofing system working together.
01
Roof assessment
Review the visible condition, roof geometry, access, and the concern that brought you here.
02Shingle replacement
Scope tear-off, decking allowances, underlayment, flashing, and the selected shingle system.
03Tile roof repair
Consider broken tiles, underlayment condition, matching, and access rather than surface appearance alone.
04Leak investigation
Trace the reported symptom and document the proposed investigation.
05Flashing & penetrations
Evaluate roof-to-wall transitions, pipe boots, skylights, and other vulnerable junctions.
06Ventilation review
Consider intake, exhaust, roof geometry, and manufacturer requirements together.
A USEFUL STARTING POINT / USD
Good planning starts
with clear expectations.
Illustrative portfolio pricing in USD, not an offer or a quote. A real scope requires site conditions, measurements, materials, access, permits and exclusions to be confirmed.
A FEW POSSIBILITIES
See the thinking.
Picture the possibilities.
Illustrative project studies. These are design directions and sample briefs, not claims of completed customer work.
A shingle system, considered
A residential replacement concept with a straightforward hip-and-ridge form.
Inside the scope ＋
Compare surface material, flashing, ventilation, tear-off and hidden-condition allowances together.
The work behind the finish
Illustrative repair activity showing why access and coordination belong in the plan.
Inside the scope ＋
Agree the inspection scope and protection measures before evaluating repair options.
A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Let’s make
it clear.
Is house square footage the same as roof area?
No. Pitch, overhangs, geometry, and attached sections affect the roof surface area. A measured roof area is needed for a meaningful replacement estimate.
Will every leak need a replacement?
No. The cause, extent of deterioration, and remaining system condition determine whether a targeted repair is reasonable.
Are permits and hidden decking included?
A real proposal should state permit responsibility and any decking allowance. Hidden damage cannot be priced accurately from photographs alone.
