Check the Details Before You Sign

Start with the business details

Call (318) 522-7001 to reach an independent provider through Shreveport Roof Replacement for a new roof or full roof replacement.

Shreveport Roof Replacement is a referral and marketing service paid by the provider network. The independent provider handles the work and contract. You choose whom to hire and verify their credentials.

• Ask for the legal business name that will appear on the estimate and contract. Confirm who will manage the job and answer questions during the work.
• Request current license details where required. Check the license status and permitted scope with the issuing authority yourself.
• Request proof of liability insurance and applicable workers' compensation coverage. Confirm coverage with the insurer, including the dates that apply to your project.

Compare the written scope

• Ask which roof areas are included. The estimate should identify the full replacement scope and describe any areas excluded from the price.
• Confirm the tear-off plan. Ask how many existing layers will be removed and whether removal, hauling, and disposal are included.
• Ask how the provider will check the exposed decking. Get the price basis for damaged decking replacement and the approval process for added costs in writing.
• Identify the underlayment by product and intended use. Ask what protection is planned for roof edges, valleys, and other areas where water collects.
• Ask how attic ventilation will be assessed. Very hot attics can make this discussion useful, so request the proposed intake and exhaust details.
• Confirm the flashing scope around walls, chimneys, vents, and other roof openings. Ask which pieces will be replaced and which may remain.
• List the roof material, product line, color, and included accessories. If quotes differ, ask each provider to explain the cost and upkeep trade-offs.

Set responsibilities before signing

• Ask who obtains permits and schedules required inspections. Confirm whether those charges are included in the written total.
• Discuss protection for siding, landscaping, windows, and driveways. Ask where materials and disposal containers will sit, especially when access is tight.
• Ask how cleanup will work during and after the project. Include debris removal, nail collection, and removal of leftover materials in the scope.
• Get the payment schedule in writing. Tie payments to clear contract stages and ask how deposits, material charges, and the final balance are handled.
• Ask how changes are approved. Require a written description and price before added work proceeds, along with any effect on the schedule.

Read both warranty documents

• Ask for the manufacturer's warranty terms for the selected products. Check coverage limits, exclusions, transfer terms, and any required maintenance records.
• Confirm who handles manufacturer warranty registration, when it must happen, and what proof you will receive. Keep the registration record with your contract.
• Request the workmanship warranty terms in writing. Ask what work is covered, how concerns are reported, and which business is responsible for responding.

Walk through the replacement timeline

• At the first phone conversation, confirm that the provider serves your address and handles your project type. Discuss access, timing, and the next available step.
• At the property visit, ask what measurements and conditions affect the estimate. Confirm when the written quote will arrive and how long its terms remain valid.
• Before signing the contract, compare written quotes with matching scope. Resolve exclusions, allowances, payment terms, and warranty questions before choosing.
• Before the material order, confirm the product and color in writing. Ask about availability, delivery, storage, and any order changes that could affect cost.
• Before tear-off and installation days, ask for the expected sequence and weather plan. Heavy downpours can change timing, so discuss how exposed areas will be protected.
• At completion, arrange a final walkthrough and any required final inspection. Review cleanup, completed scope, warranty records, and unresolved items against the contract before the final payment is due.
