A precise agreement reduces dispute risk, clarifies payment and warranty obligations, and supports permit and insurance processes; executed copies also establish dates and attribution consistent with ESIGN (15 U.S.C. §7001) and state e‑signature rules.
Homeowners, residential roofing contractors, and insurance adjusters most often work with this agreement to document scope and claims.
Each participant should sign with authority and retain a dated copy for permits, inspections, and any future warranty or insurance matters.
The homeowner is the party that owns the property and authorizes work. They must confirm identity, sign as owner or authorized agent, and maintain copies for insurance claims and warranty enforcement.
A licensed contractor or an authorized company representative signs to accept scope, pricing, and warranty obligations. Confirm corporate authority when a business entity signs and attach licensing and insurance proof.
A detailed description of removal and replacement tasks, roofing system type, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, fasteners, and any site cleanup responsibilities. Attach manufacturer specifications when a specific shingle or membrane is required and note excluded items.
List material brands, model numbers, color, and warranty durations. Specify acceptable substitutions and process for approvals to avoid disagreements about final material quality or appearance.
State start date, projected completion date, and allowances for weather or permit delays. Include milestone payments tied to measurable progress such as delivery, tear‑off completion, and final inspection.
Define deposit amounts, progress payments, final payment, accepted payment methods, and consequences for late payment including interest or work suspension procedures.
Record manufacturer warranties and contractor workmanship warranties, duration, claims process, and who is responsible for warranty callouts or repairs after completion.
Specify which party obtains permits, required insurance coverage limits, certificate of insurance evidence, and indemnity or liability allocations for property damage and injuries.
