Scope of work
Roofing Scope of Work Template
Use this roofing scope of work template to describe exactly what the contractor plans to do, what materials will be used, what assumptions apply, and what work is excluded.
Clarifies included and excluded roofing work
Useful inside proposals, contracts, and change orders
Helps reduce scope confusion before work starts
Why scope language matters
Roofing disputes often start when the customer and contractor have different expectations about what is included. Clear scope language makes the project easier to price, approve, and manage.
What to describe
Describe tear-off, deck inspection, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, shingles or membrane, cleanup, disposal, permits, and any known repairs.
Where to use the scope
The same scope can support estimates, proposals, contract drafts, change orders, and insurance documentation worksheets.

FAQ
Can a scope of work be used in a contract?
Yes. Many contractors use scope language inside a proposal or contract draft so both parties understand the planned work.
Should hidden damage be included in the original scope?
Hidden damage is often listed as an exclusion or allowance because it may not be visible until tear-off or deeper inspection.
Can this template help with change orders?
Yes. A clear original scope makes it easier to document what changed later and why a change order is needed.
