Share your project details. A5 will review your request and offer an introduction to a relevant professional in the network. [Request service](https://www.a5homeservices.com/request-service?service=roofing) ## What should I compare in roofing proposals? Compare the area being repaired, the evidence for the proposed work, materials, flashing details, removal and cleanup, exclusions and written terms. Ask how hidden damage and changes will be priced and approved. ## Start with the observed problem Describe when water appeared, which room is affected and whether earlier repairs were made. Share ground-level photos and indoor photos taken safely. Ask the roofer to explain the suspected water path; the location of a ceiling stain does not by itself prove where water entered. ## Separate a repair from a replacement estimate A repair proposal should identify the specific area and included work. A replacement proposal should describe removal, the roofing system, flashing, penetrations and disposal. Ask which existing components will remain and why. Do not assume two prices cover the same scope. ## Make uncertain work visible Ask how the provider documents concealed damage, who approves a change and whether unit prices or allowances apply. Confirm site protection, cleanup, payment stages and written warranty terms. Request any permit responsibilities in writing and confirm local requirements with your municipality. ## Coordinate the next trade If the roof problem has damaged a ceiling, address the source before arranging finish repairs. Keep roofing and drywall scopes separate so each provider knows what is ready. Tell A5 your town, access restrictions, roof type if known and whether the request is inspection, repair or replacement. ## Start with A5 Tell us what you have noticed and where your home is located.
