LTR will invoice you approximately monthly but, your total payment obligations shall not be diminished or released in the event that you do not receive an invoice.
Payments that are not received by LTR within five (5) calendar days of the due date are deemed in default and shall bear interest from the date due at the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate of interest permitted by law. In addition to principal amounts & interest owed, you agree to pay LTR reasonable collection costs, including attorney fees & filing fees, if our office places any amount in default for collection.
Be safe - Avoid Hazards to You and Your Property
Roofing work involves construction and demolition and can result in falling debris. You agree not to enter or permit guests or invitees to enter under the work area while work is ongoing. LTR is not responsible for injuries to you or your guests who enter the work area.
Replacing your roof is a dirty job. Dust and debris may enter your house and attic during the process. Use care in lowering your attic stairs after re-roofing to avoid any overlooked debris that may fall.
Your landscaping is important to us and we will try to avoid damage, but some damage may occur during roof tear-off and construction. You agree that we are not responsible for damage to landscaping resulting from normal construction activities.
You agree to provide LTR and material distributors unobstructed access to your driveway while work is in progress. The equipment and materials used in replacing a roof are heavy. You agree that LTR is not responsible for driveway and curb damage that results in compression, or inadequate support of your driveway and curbs
Construction Matter not Included
Replacing a roof frequently exposes pre-existing structural problems. You agree that repairing preexisting structural problems is not part of this contract and LTR is not obligated to make such repairs. The appearance of pre-existing deflections from sagging rafters or trusses may be accentuated by a new roof system and you agree that LTR is not responsible if this occurs.
Building codes and good practices require that air conditioning, water, and electric lines and pipes be located a safe distance below roof decking. You agree that LTR is not responsible for nail penetrations to air conditioners, water or electric lines or pipes that are located less than 3” below the bottom surface of the roof deck or any resulting damages.
Properly installing a new roof may (and frequently does) require the removal and replacement of existing flashing. During installation, siding adjacent to the flashing that is old, worn and deteriorated may break, crack, or tear. You agree that LTR is not responsible for any consequential damage to siding resulting from replacing flashing.
Removing and replacing an old roof creates vibration that may be transmitted through out the house. You agree to remove items hanging form inside walls, soffits, and ceilings. You agree that LTR is not responsible for damage caused to or by falling items.
It may be necessary or prudent to remove roof-mounted equipment (e.g., satellite dishes, antennas, solar panels, weather stations, etc.). You agree to have roof mounted equipment removed and re-installed/adjusted at your cost. LTR may remove such equipment if you do not, but will have no obligation to reinstall or align the equipment, including satellite dishes.
You agree to retain qualified, licensed electrician to disconnect and connect electrical accessories (e.g., powered vents) attached to the roof. Our installers are not licensed electricians.
Replacement of deteriorated decking, fascia boards, roof jacks, ventilators, flashing, or other materials, unless otherwise specifically stated on the front of this contract, is not included in the contract. LTR is not obligated to perform such work, unless you and LTR make separate written agreement if such work is necessary to protect roof or insure the roof’s integrity. You agree that LTR is not responsible for work performed by other contractors.
