Summary
Major property improvements such as roof replacements involve substantial financial investment and wide quotation discrepancies across the trade sector. Property owners should exercise caution regarding contract terms, specifically ensuring that the entity providing the quote and warranty is directly performing the labor. Unnotified subcontracting can lead to accountability gaps if defects or leaks reappear later. Establishing clear contractual milestones, verifying builder licenses, and securing formal workmanship warranties are critical steps to safeguarding property investments during major renovations.
