Roofing jobs are complex, expensive undertakings. Many homeowners have questions regarding roofing and contracts and whether they are necessary. While many customers view contracts as a negative thing, a roofing contract is an important document crafted to protect the homeowner and the roofer. The days of undertaking a roofing project with a simple handshake are over and a clear roofing contract spelling out the scope of the work, materials, and payment is necessary. Having a clear, detailed contract allows both the roofer and homeowner to have protections should a problem arise.

Request quotes and compare them to the quality of service provided by the roof contractor.
To avoid problems later on, confirm the length of time your project will take.
Before you sign a contract with a roofing contractor, make sure they have the proper insurance.
Both parties’ names and addresses should be included as well as the roofer’s business address.
The Scope of work should be articulated and specific. Examples include: layers tear off, products used, new flashing, cleanup, etc. The scope should also include what will not be done such as change orders.
Change orders do happen, and it is important to spell this out in the contract. If extra work is required on the project, the homeowner needs to know the additional hourly rate to be charged.
A reliable roofing contract includes the contractor’s insurance certification, license number, worker’s comp, and Liability.
The length of time to complete the project should be clearly stated in the contract. Also, a payment schedule should be documented stating how and when the roof will be paid.
Roofing contracts eliminate disagreements, help solve problems, and provide homeowners and roofers with deserved protections. A well-articulated contract will help ensure the roofing project is completed timely and eliminate hard feelings and frustrations resulting from the project. Because roofing jobs are so complex, a contract is vital to ensuring both parties are satisfied.
If you are a party to a roofing contract, it is important that you understand the termination clause. This clause governs the cancellation of the contract. There are two types of termination clauses: termination for cause and termination without cause. In this blog post, we will discuss termination for cause. We will look at what this means and how it can be used to cancel a construction contract.
A termination for cause clause is a provision in a roofing contract that allows one party to the contract to terminate the agreement if they feel that another party has defaulted on their duties. This could include missing project milestones, failing to provide information or documentation, or any other actions deemed grounds for termination by one of the parties involved in the contract.
While termination for cause clauses offer some flexibility and control over the terms of a contract, they can also be complicated to use. For example, you might need to specify what constitutes default under the contract, or provide clear criteria for when a party has actually failed to perform their duties. Additionally, there may be provisions in the contract that limit your ability to terminate for cause.
Overall, it is essential to understand the termination for cause clause in your construction contract and be prepared to act accordingly if you believe that another party has defaulted on their duties. Otherwise, your ability to terminate the contract could be seriously limited.
As you wouldn’t let just anyone in your house, you shouldn’t let just anyone on your roof. Make sure your contract with a company that is local and will be there in your time of need. You want a roofer who can stand behind its warranty and who can provide the property insurance and license as well.
You want a team that is trained and experienced in all roofing systems and a team that can handle any all repair, replacement, and diagnostic issues.
