Roofing Project Checklist

Proper planning is the key to every successful project - especially when it's as important as a new roof or roofing repairs. Below, Owens Corning has compiled a checklist of hints, guidelines, Dos and Don'ts to help ensure your roofing project goes off as smooth as possible.

• Select which roofing material best complements your home. (For help, start with our Shingle Colors pages.)
• Select contractor with extreme care. Request to see a license and insurance.
• Look into financing options.
• Plan work when costs will be most competitive, e.g., outside the rainy season.
• Prepare for disruption, noise, dust and debris.
• Confirm the scope of the work to be completed (including clean up) in writing.
• Understand the critical roof areas and how they will be detailed, e.g., flashings, valleys and vents. (Don't know the parts of your roof? Go to Roofing Terms and Definitions.)
• The contractor should secure all necessary permits.
• Review/understand manufacturer's installation instructions. Should you choose an Owens Corning product, contact us at 1-800-ROOFING with any questions.
• Make yourself accessible to contractor.
• Do not pay ahead of the material delivery/work progress.
• Get lien releases from all parties (e.g., contractor, material supplier) before final payment.
