Written Scope vs Verbal Roof Quote in NH

· New Hampshire exteriors

A handshake price without line items is how surprises happen at tear-off. Ask for materials, flashings, and cleanup in writing.

What belongs in writing

  • Tear-off layers and disposal
  • Underlayment and ice & water locations
  • Ventilation and flashing notes
  • Decking unit pricing
  • Cleanup and magnet sweep
  • Warranty and payment schedule

Verbal red flags

"About the same as the other guy" with no paper. "We'll figure ice shield on the day." "Cash discount if you decide now."

Walk away from pressure — good work survives a written comparison.
