What Should Appear on a Standard Roofing Contractor's Agreement

Put It All In Writing

Make sure that all agreements and promises from the roofing contractor are put into writing. Having this information in writing protects you and your investment. It allows you to see what the contractor plans to do with your home, what he will charge to do the work, and it will provide a written warranty on his workmanship. It is important that you retain this, and any other information given to you by the contractor. When reviewing the agreement with the contractor, make sure to address some of the important points below to your mutual satisfaction. Contractors are not authorized IKO agents.
