SCOPE NOTES / 01
One roof. A connected system.
Look at the layers and transitions together instead of selecting a surface in isolation.
- Decking condition
- Underlayment
- Flashing details
- Balanced ventilation
PURPOSE IN EVERY DETAIL
A vision worth
building around.
Thoughtful roof repairs, replacement planning, and the details that keep a roofing system working together.
MORE THAN A LIST OF SERVICES
Understand the work.
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.
SCOPE NOTES / 02
A repair with a defined boundary
Explain what the proposed repair addresses and what remains outside the scope.
- Reported symptoms
- Observed condition
- Repair area
- Adjacent system limitations
SCOPE NOTES / 03
Replacement with useful allowances
A proposal should distinguish known work from conditions that can only be confirmed after tear-off.
- Measured roof area
- Removal and disposal
- Decking allowance
- Permit and cleanup scope
A SIMPLE PATH FORWARD
A good beginning.
A clear next step.
Look
Gather the roof type, symptoms, and access details.
Understand
Review system condition and scope assumptions.
Plan
Compare a repair direction with replacement planning.
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.
