What a roofing scope of work is for
Two roofing quotes can look the same and be very different jobs. One replaces flashing and adds ice and water shield in the valleys; the other reuses old flashing. A scope that names every component and how bad decking is handled lets the homeowner compare fairly and protects you when rotten wood turns up under the shingles.
What to put in a roofing scope of work
- Layers to tear off and haul away.
- Decking: inspection and replacement price per sheet.
- Underlayment and ice and water shield, and where.
