Roofing business templates for restorations, repairs and gutters

What roofing work needs in writing

Roofing customers cannot see the work they pay for, which makes the paperwork do more than usual. The inspection report shows what is wrong, with photos, before any price is given. The quote lists the repairs, the materials and the access equipment. The contract adds a weather rule, because a roofer cannot work in rain or high wind, and a clause for hidden damage such as rotten battens found once tiles are lifted. After the job, an invoice and often a written warranty close it out.

Safety comes first on paper too

Work on a roof is high risk construction work almost every time, so the business needs a safe work method statement before a ladder goes up, and fall protection that matches it. A principal contractor on a larger site will ask to see that document. The safe work method statement example in this kit is laid out as tasks, hazards and controls with a sign off, the format inspectors and builders expect to read. A copy kept in the van means the crew can show it on the spot when a builder or inspector asks, rather than promising to send it later.

Who the kit is for

The kit is written for Australian roof restoration, repair, re roofing and gutter businesses, priced in dollars with GST at 10%. Roof tiling, roof plumbing and metal roofing are licensed in many states under different classes, so the licence number belongs on the quote and the contract. Each card opens a finished example, so the scope, the weather rule and the prices can be read in full before anything is adapted.

Inspect, photograph, then quote

The roofing quotes that win most often follow an inspection report with photos. The customer sees the cracked tiles, the loose ridge capping and the rusted valleys, then reads a quote that fixes each one. Keep the inspection report and the quote in the same order so the customer can match them, and list access equipment such as scaffolding as its own line, because it is the item customers question most.

Weather, hidden damage and time

A roofing contract needs two clauses most trade contracts can skip. A weather rule sets out that work stops in rain or high wind and that the finish date moves with it. A latent conditions clause decides who pays when the work uncovers damage nobody could see, such as rotten battens or a failed sarking. The clause pages in this kit explain each with sample wording, and the roofing contract shows them working together.

From the roof to the bank

Roof restorations are usually paid with a deposit and a balance. In the proposal builder, acceptance with a deposit issues the deposit invoice straight away and keeps a draft balance invoice for the end of the job. The customer can accept on a phone with a drawn signature, or sign through e-signing with an email code for larger jobs. Reminders follow up a late balance on a schedule the roofer chooses.
