Transitions
Valleys, walls, chimneys, skylights, vents, eaves, and penetrations are the risk points that need individual scope language.
DFW trade scope
Roofing & Storm-Envelope Scope
Roofing decisions should be based on the actual assembly and transitions. TrueForm scopes visible roofing, decking allowances, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, penetrations, gutters, and adjoining siding conditions before treating the roof as a single-price surface.
Written scope
What this specialty page puts on the table
The signed proposal controls the actual project. This page is the checklist used to make the proposal more complete.
- Roof-plane and penetration review
- Material, underlayment, flashing, and ventilation discussion
- Decking-repair allowance or change process
- Gutter, siding, chimney, and interior-leak coordination
Field checks
The details that change method, price, or sequence
Decking condition
Surface inspection cannot prove every concealed sheet; the proposal should state how unsuitable decking is measured and authorized.
Ventilation balance
Intake and exhaust must be reviewed as a system; adding one component without the other is not automatically an improvement.
Dependencies to resolve
- Verified roof measurements and access
- Selected roofing system
- Permit and manufacturer requirements
- Defined storm or insurance documentation responsibilities
Open conditions stay visible
- Insurance coverage or claim outcome
- Unlimited decking replacement
- Structural framing repair or mold remediation unless listed
Direct answers
Questions homeowners ask before the walkthrough
Can you guarantee an insurance claim will be approved?
No. The project can document visible conditions and repair scope, but coverage and claim decisions belong to the policy and insurer.
What happens if damaged decking is found?
The proposal should define an allowance, unit method, or documented change-order path before removal begins.
