2022 Roofing Contract Addendums and Attachments

Roofing Contractors need a good selection of addendums that can be included, as needed, in their contracts whenever circumstances demand. If you have been in the roofing business very long, you have probably encountered many unconventional situations and job conditions. Because of this, it is important that Roofing Contractors have the right collection of contract addendums and attachments to meet those conditions.

If hazardous substances are suspected or found to be present on the job site, you need an addendum to help mitigate any liability against your roofing company. When your customer doesn't want to pay for work on their roofing project, that you recommend, you need protection from their choices. What happens, if you discover questionable counter flashing on the chimney of the clients home you are re-roofing and they tell you... "Ya, we know it should be replaced but we are planning on selling in two years and it has lasted for the last 30 so it will surely last at least 2 more... which is as long as we will be living here!" ...they say, and... "we don't want to put any more money into this house."  As the expert, you know the chimney could start leaking the next time it rains and, if not, it is only a matter of time before it does.  So, you have two choices. 

One... you can try and cancel the contract. But, cancellation in this circumstance is only possible with the customer's, mutual, consent...or...

Two... you can do as they say and ignore the problem counter flashing, knowing there will be water coming in, around their chimney, long before the roof needs replacing again.

Now, trying to cancel a contract can be difficult or impossible if the homeowner does not want to cancel it. If you choose to do the work the way the homeowner wants it, against your recommendations, we have an addendum that holds your roofing company harmless for any consequences of doing the work as the customer wants.... namely, a leaking chimney with possible interior water damage. 

Doing work on a time & material basis? We have addendums to attach to the contract for T&M work, that detail exactly what is included and what is a separate charge. Most disputes on T&M based work happen because the property owner either doesn't understand what you are charging them for or did not expect to be charged the way the roofing contractor is charging them. Our Cost of Work Addendums explain exactly what and exactly how much the customer will be charged.
