Save the written scope, approved changes, product information and contact details. These records help if questions arise after the work.

Save approved changes and final photos with the proposal so you can see what was included. Keep the office contact and applicable warranty documents where a future owner or building manager can find them.

Contact the Dekoven Roofing office if you have a question about your project or want to request an estimate.

Keep a project file

After a roof project, keep documents you may need later.

Keep

  • Signed proposal and change orders.
  • Warranty documents.
  • Product information.
  • Payment records.
  • Photos.
  • Contractor contact details.

Why

They support warranty claims and sale disclosures, and they help the next roofer understand what is on the building.

Organizing the records

A single folder, paper or digital, with a short index works well. Label each document with the date and contractor name, and add a note about the roof areas covered.

If you sell the property, the folder gives a buyer confidence and may be requested by their inspector.

Store

Keep paper and digital copies in more than one place.
