03Sequence

From first call to finished

A written quote before any work, with the $300 permit question answered on it.

01

Call and describe it

The address, what you are seeing, and roughly how old the roof is. That is enough for an estimated range on the call and a time to look at it.

02

Look, measure, and ask the permit question

Squares measured, layers counted at an edge, the deck checked from the attic wherever there is access, and the job set against the $300 line.

03

A written quote with the permit on it

Every line priced on its own, with the permit as a line when the job needs one and a plain sentence saying so when it does not, and anything we could not see written as a condition.

04

Permit, work, walkaround

Where a permit is needed it is pulled before work starts.

04Before we arrive

What to do before anybody climbs a ladder

  1. Catch any water and photograph itA bucket under the drip, belongings moved, and a few photographs of the stain before anything is touched. Keep clear of wet ceilings near a light fixture and switch that circuit off if it is safe to.
  2. Ask whether the job needs a permitIn Columbus and Bartholomew County, roofing replacement needs a permit once the cost passes $300. Ask every roofer which side of that line your job is on, and to put the answer in writing.

Note 01What is the best way to repair a flat roof?

With the same membrane system already on it, and the repair fastened mechanically wherever it meets a wall. Patching one system with another, or sealant over an open seam, buys a season at best.

Note 02How to repair a flat roof without replacing it?

Repair what failed: the seam that opened, the edge where the membrane meets a wall, or the drain that ponds. A low-slope roof rarely fails in the middle, so most repairs are at its edges.

Note 03Is standing water on a flat roof a problem?

Not if it clears within a day or two of rain. Water still sitting a week later is a seam being tested every day, and it usually means the drain is not at the low point. In winter that same hollow fills with ice.
