Start with the cause
Record visible damage from the ground and water marks inside the home. A leak can come from a limited area or flashing detail; widespread wear may raise a replacement question. Let an on-site assessment connect the findings to the proposed work.
Review the roof as a system
Ask about removal, roof decking, underlayment, flashing, roof edges, and ventilation. Confirm which components are included and what happens if concealed deck damage is found.
Plan the work around your home
Discuss access, protection for landscaping and surrounding areas, debris removal, and cleanup. If gutters are part of the project, define the roof-edge and drainage work together.
