Georgia & Alabama · Owner-reviewed matching

Planning a homeowner-paid roof replacement

A retail replacement is a homeowner-paid project. No insurance claim is required to request a match in Georgia or Alabama. Start with your goals, then let a company inspection inform the proposed work. A&E reviews your request before choosing at most one suitable available company.

Start with goals, not a product promise

Write down why you are considering replacement, any known repair history, and your planning window. Distinguish the result you want from assumptions about a material or hidden condition. The company must inspect and explain its proposal; Free Roof Score does not decide that replacement is necessary.

From inspection to a written scope

A roof has several components. Asking about each proposed component is different from prescribing how it must be built.

• Ask what the inspection found and why the proposed scope addresses it.
• Request included and excluded work in writing.
• Ask for the stated material and product specifications, not just a product family name.
• Ask whether decking, flashings, and ventilation work are included or conditional.
• Ask how concealed conditions and added work will be documented, priced, and agreed.

Decide materials and timing with the company

Ask the company to explain product choices for your property and the proposed schedule. Project cost and timing vary; this service does not provide prices, financing, savings promises, or guaranteed quotes. Confirm how schedule changes, material changes, and site access will be communicated.

• GAF roof-cost factors, not a project quote

Agree on the work and site arrangements

Any agreement, warranty, inspection, and work are directly with the independent roofing company. Manufacturer warranty information does not establish a warranty for your project or any partner qualification.

• Confirm driveway, delivery, occupant, and pet arrangements.
• Ask what protection and cleanup are included.
• Read the written material and workmanship warranty terms, including restrictions.
• Confirm payment milestones and the process for accepting added work.
• Keep the proposal, agreement, specifications, and completion records.
