What is a Roofing Contract Template?
A roofing contract template is a document that outlines the terms and conditions of a particular roofing job. It’s important to have this in place before starting any project, as it protects both the roofing contractors and the client.
Roofing jobs by their very nature are delicate and often require highly skilled contractors. Whether it’s roof restoration, plumbing, painting, or tiling – each project needs rigorous planning to keep the wheels in motion.
The contract is a written agreement between parties that sets out the terms and conditions of their working relationship.

Best practices for your roofing contracts?
Roofing jobs are complex and can quickly get out of hand if they’re not managed properly.
What is the work that will be completed?
As a contractor, it’s important to be as clear as possible with your project scope well defined. Having a clear understanding of the final deliverables, timelines, and work to be completed will keep your customers happy and your profit margins healthy.
What payment terms do you have setup?
It’s every contractor and subcontractor’s dream to get paid for their work. Sadly, payment terms can easily be forgotten in the excitement of a new roofing project.
What you negotiate now with your new client will help your project run smoothly.
Normally, payment terms are split into two parts:
• The payment made upon signing the roofing contract template
• The remainder payment to be made upon satisfactory completion of work
It’s important to negotiate your payment structure before you begin your job.
If you’re planning on accepting payment after completion, it will help for your project scope to be one of the following categories:
Fixed Price:
A fixed price job means that the contractor charges the client an agreed-upon fee, regardless of time spent on the job or materials used. When you sign a contract the price is the price. Fixed price is often seen as a better option for both parties because it removes the risk of overcharging for materials and time spent on the job. Be careful, under-charging your client will eat into your profit.
Hourly Rate:
An hourly rate for contractors means that you charge your client based on how many hours were spent on the job. The downside here is that you can’t predict how much money you’ll make until after the project has been completed.
