What's on this certificate

  • Your business name, logo and license number, the job number, completion date and invoice number
  • The homeowner and the job: address, start date and finish date
  • The work completed, in plain words
  • A final walk-through checklist: debris and dumpster, magnet sweep for nails, gutters, siding and plants, the attic, before and after photos
  • The permit inspection: passed, scheduled or not needed, and the date
  • The contract price, approved extra work and the final price
  • The insurance company and claim number, if it was an insurance job
  • Your signature and the homeowner's, each with a one-line statement

How to fill it in

  1. Add your business details and logo, then save it as your master copy.
  2. Fill in the homeowner, the job and the dates.
  3. Write what you did in a few plain sentences: tear-off, decking, underlayment, shingles and color, vents and flashing.
  4. Walk the job with the homeowner and tick each check as you go.
  5. Tick the permit inspection and write its date.
  6. Fill in the price, and the insurance claim if there is one.
  7. Both sign, and give the homeowner a copy with the final invoice.

For insurance jobs

Many insurers pay a roof claim in two parts and release the second once they see proof the work is finished. Ask the adjuster what they need. It's often the final invoice, photos and a completion certificate signed by the homeowner. The claim number on the certificate ties it to the claim.

Questions

Is this a lien waiver?
No. A lien waiver is a separate legal document, and some states set its exact wording by law. The note on the certificate says it is not one.
Is it a warranty or a roof certification?
No. Your warranty terms belong in their own document, and a roof certification for a home sale says how many years the roof has left. This certificate records that the work is done and that the homeowner walked it with you.
What if something isn't finished yet?
Sign it when the work is done. If a small item is waiting, like a gutter on back order, finish the walk-through and sign once it's in.
Do I need a permit inspection?
Many cities and counties require a permit to replace a roof and an inspection when it's done. Tick Passed, Scheduled or Not needed, and write the date.
