Inspecting Your Roof Structure
As part of the estimation
process, your roofing contractor
should inspect your roof
structure and inform you of any damage to the
underlying wood prior to
removing the old roof materials. The
roofing estimate
should include the cost of
replacing any damaged materials.
At times, it is possible that
hidden damage may not be
discovered until after the roof
surface is removed. |
