Verify Materials on the Contract: Ensure the bid and the contract contains an itemized list of all roofing components that will be installed. This will act as your checklist when the materials arrive onsite. Specifically, verify that your shingle brand and type are correct. If there is a discrepancy, make sure it is resolved before the work begins.

Verify the Source of Materials: Ensure the contractor purchases from a major distributor such as Southern Shingles, ABC Supply, West End, etc. These reputable distributors manage their inventory very closely to ensure shingles are not on their lot too long, which reduces the risk that your shingles may age prematurely, or defect, and then may not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Verifying the material source will help you protect yourself from having old, compromised or degraded materials installed on your home.
