What this means for your project
List visible roof openings from a safe location: vents, chimneys, skylights, equipment, and wall intersections. Ask whether each will be retained, replaced, removed, or assessed further. Flashing is the system of details that manages water at changes in the roof, and the appropriate detail depends on the surrounding assembly. A generic allowance for “trim” may need a clearer description. Avoid assuming sealant alone is the planned solution to every junction.
Roofing words used here
- Roof system or assembly
- The roofing materials and the way they are installed together, including panels, layers underneath, and attachments.
- Openings and flashing
- Vents, skylights, and similar features interrupt the roof surface. Flashing helps direct water away from those areas and roof joints.
- Allowance
- An amount set aside in a quote for work or materials that are not fully settled. Ask how the final charge is worked out.
Questions worth taking with you
- List known openings and roof-to-wall transitions.
- Ask which accessories and flashings are included.
- Clarify reuse versus replacement of existing components.
- Request written handling of any detail that remains unresolved.
