Quote checklist
Roof-to-wall quote checklist before you hire a retrofit specialist
If a roof-to-wall recommendation is turning into a generic roofing sale, use this checklist to pull it back.

You are here
Prepare the quote path
Use the checklist and contractor type only after the recommendation and scope are clear.
Quick answer
A roof-to-wall quote should stay retrofit-specific. If it jumps straight to broad roof work, slow it down.
Use this page when
Use this when a roof-to-wall recommendation starts sounding like a generic roofing sale.
Key takeaways
What to verify before you sign
- Roof-to-wall work should stay tied to the report recommendation.
- Retrofit license fit and scope detail matter more than a broad package price.
- A quote should explain why any wider roof work is necessary.
What not to assume
Do not let the quote outrun the recommendation
- Do not assume a general roofer and a retrofit specialist solve the same problem.
- Do not assume a broad reroof quote is required by a roof-to-wall recommendation.
- Do not assume license fit is obvious from sales language alone.
Next steps
Move back into the core routes
- Confirm the report points to roof-to-wall, not generic roof work.
- Ask how the quoted scope completes the eligible retrofit.
- Separate retrofit work from optional roofing extras before signing.

Why this page is careful
Built from current official pages, then narrowed to one safer next step
- Fresh rules first: current official pages beat stale PDFs and old flyers.
- One page, one question: each page should solve one homeowner decision cleanly.
- Risk check: when scope is fuzzy, the page slows the decision down instead of pushing a sale.
