FAQ

Should a roofer publish the warranty terms in a reply?
Reference the warranty by length and outcome. Full terms stay in the quote and the private follow-up.
Can we dispute a leak-recurrence review?
Never in public. Own the callback under warranty, resolve in private, ask for an updated review after.
