What owners and architects ask first

Yes. We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation through the Wyoming state program. Ask for the certificate and we will send it before you sign. The registration is in the top bar of every page.

In writing, after the site visit and the drawings. The bid is itemized and says what is and is not included. We do not give prices by phone, because the roof decides them.

Yes, and most jobs start that way. We review the roof details, mark what needs to change for snow and ventilation, and send questions back before we bid.

Not on a solid deck with the right underlayment. We build the roof assembly to quiet it, and we say what we recommend in the bid.

With snow guards or rails placed where the snow would land, drawn on the plan before the order. You choose which slopes shed and which hold.

We inspect, photograph and write an itemized bid for repairs. You decide whether to file with your insurer, and any deductible is yours. We are not public adjusters.

Usually, and your town or county building office decides. We prepare the permit documents and handle the paperwork for work we do.

If you sign at home, you may have three business days to cancel. In many states you can also cancel after your insurer denies a claim. Your contract states the terms.

Makers commonly quote a century or more for copper, 80 years or more for zinc and 60 to 150 years for slate, depending on pitch, detailing and care. Your bid names the product.

Yes, often with copper valleys and flashings on slate, or a metal roof with copper details. We detail where they meet so they do not harm each other.

Yes. We join the project early so the roof details agree with the framing and the schedule.

Yes, with care for settling and for the roof's ventilation. We ask your builder what to expect in the first years.
