A Simple Roofing Contract clarifies expectations, reduces disputes, and creates a clear payment and completion roadmap. Well-drafted terms protect both parties by documenting warranties, permit responsibilities, and change order processes, improving enforceability and helping contractors and homeowners manage project risk.
Typical users include homeowners, roofing contractors, property managers, and small commercial building owners handling routine roofing projects.
Use this contract when you need a clear, enforceable agreement without extensive legal drafting for straightforward roofing work.
Describe tasks, materials, dimensions, and specific exclusions. Include shingle type, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and removal or disposal of existing roofing, and approximate quantities with reference to attached exhibit or plan.
State total contract price, deposit amount, progress payment schedule, final payment conditions, accepted payment methods, and retention or holdback terms. Include late payment interest rate and procedures for invoices and disputed charges.
Specify start and substantial completion dates, allowances for weather or permit delays, milestones, inspection windows, and remedies for missed deadlines and identify liquidated damages or extension procedures if applicable.
Define how modifications are proposed, priced, approved, and documented; require written sign-off, adjusted timeline, and cost authorization before work proceeds. Include emergency repair protocols and rapid approval process for critical safety issues.
State manufacturer and workmanship warranties, duration, start date, claim procedures, exclusions for misuse, and transferability to subsequent property owners. Also specify remedies such as repair, replacement, or refund and clarify prorated coverage if applicable.
Allocate risk, require contractor general liability and workers' compensation insurance limits, name owner as additional insured when needed, and address indemnity and damage repairs, including procedures for subrogation and certificate delivery.
