[ ] Roofing materials and roof pitch: list the proposed system for each roof; retain the exception for metal roofs when referring to EPA’s minimum of ¼:12 (2 percent) for most low-slope roofs.
[ ] Roof assembly: identify rainwater control, insulation and air barrier layers and which layers the proposed work addresses.
[ ] Vented or non-vented roofing: record the existing arrangement and the climatic and space-use considerations for the proposal.
[ ] Fully adhered roofing membranes: if proposed as the air barrier, identify the non-vented low-slope roof system and the membrane’s role.
[ ] Positive roof drainage: identify deflections, local rainfall, roofing manufacturer drain placement and EPA’s maximum 48 hours after precipitation.
[ ] Standing water: locate observed ponding and coating condition in roof photographs and written findings.
[ ] Roof flashing: locate roof-wall intersections, curbs, hatches, equipment and temporary repairs; request findings linked to proposed work.
[ ] Operation and maintenance information: specify signs of roofing failure, frequency of inspection and repair-method documents in the builder’s handover scope.
[ ] Asphalt shingle maintenance: document moss and lichen, the vertical slots between tabs and any proposed cleaning down the slope.
