What to ask at the roof replacement walkthrough

Use the final walkthrough to understand the completed scope, see relevant photos and get the records you will need later.

Have the proposal available when you review the completed roof. Ask which changes were approved, what the final photos show and which product or care documents you should keep.

If you're comparing replacement options, ask Dekoven Roofing for a written estimate for your property.

Use the walkthrough

The final walkthrough is your chance to confirm the completed work matches the proposal and to collect records.

What to ask

• Which materials were installed, and can I see the product names?
• Where were flashing, vents and other details replaced?
• Were any extra repairs needed, such as decking?
• Is the property clean and free of debris?
• When will I receive warranty documents?

What to collect

Ask for photos of key details, especially anything that will be hidden once finished, along with product information and warranty paperwork. Keep them with your project file.

Raise concerns now

If something looks incomplete, note it before the crew leaves and ask when it will be addressed.
