ROOFING EXPECTATIONS: If you are like most of our customers, this is probably your first experience with reroofing and you are wondering what to expect. The most important point to be aware of is, there is no way we can re roof your home without causing you some inconvenience.

COMMUNICATIONS: If you have any questions or problems during your roofing job, please call the office immediately. The phone is answered 24 hours a day. Phone (214) 321-9341

THE SIGN: Placing a sign on your property is the first step in re roofing your home. We are proud of this job and the work we do.

SHINGLES: There are usually two types of shingles sent to the job. One is a three tab shingle that is used as the starter shingle. The other shingles are the brand and style of shingles you requested to have installed.

WIRING & AIR CONDITIONING LINES: Electrical, telephone, security and air conditioning lines should not be installed directly underneath the roof deck. If you are aware of any such lines, we must be notified immediately. We can not be responsible for the puncture of improperly installed lines or lines within three inches of the roof deck.

LIGHT FIXTURES, MIRRORS & PICTURES: These items can fall if not firmly attached to the wall or ceilings. We suggest that you check to make sure they are secured. If in doubt, take them down. We cannot assume the responsibility of these items as a result of re roofing. Small cracks or crows feet will sometimes appear in older plaster and sometimes small particles of the acoustical ceiling may fall.

TEAR OFF: When it is necessary to remove your existing roof or roofs, debris will fall through your lath or decking into the attic. We suggest covering or removing any items which require protection. There will be a thorough clean up of the exterior of your premises, however, we can only pick up approximately 98% of the nails that fall around the premises.

ACCESS: Your contract price was figured utilizing access to the driveways for our trucks, as well as electricity.  If exterior plugs are not available, please run an extension cord through a window or door.

TREES & SHRUBS: If you have low hanging branches over your roof, some trimming may be necessary. Our men will only cut those limbs which limit our ability to do an efficient and workmanlike job. In some cases, you may prefer to have the tree or trees trimmed by professionals before we begin our job.

SIDEWALL FLASHING: When one roof is installed over another roof, new flashings are sometimes needed at the vertical sidewalls. These flashings may be covered by a 1 inch by 4 inch board nailed to the vertical wall.

SOLAR PANELS: Arrangements to remove and replace solar panels are the sole responsibility of the owner.

ANTENNAS: We remove and re-install antennas up to 20 feet in height, but we will not be responsible for the old lead in wire breaking.

VENTS: At the end of each work day and upon completion of your job, please check the interior connections of your heater and hot water heater vent pipes. If you can not do this please notify us of this and we will inspect this for you.

LEFT OVER MATERIALS: Our proposals are based on a complete job. Any left over materials remain the property of Bert Roofing Inc., unless otherwise stated in your contract.
