Questions

What people ask first

Can flashing be repaired without replacing the roof?
Sometimes. The condition of the surrounding roof and the way the flashing is integrated determine what is practical. The proposal should explain which materials need removal and reinstatement.
How is flashing and roof-detail repairs priced?
The estimate depends on the project size, existing conditions, access, materials, and work included. Any figures shown here are demonstration planning examples, not a contractor quote.
What happens if the scope changes?
The proposed change should explain the additional or omitted work, price, and schedule effect so it can be reviewed before proceeding.
