Roofing contractors across the country face a number of difficulties, beginning during contract negotiation and often ending with disputes or warranty claims on projects. From coast to coast, I hear common themes when talking to roofing contractors—insurance premiums are too high, there is too much state and Federal regulation, and there is a lack of skilled labor.

Twenty years ago, a contractor could complete a construction project with a handshake and an invoice. Times have changed, and customers have become more legally sophisticated through easy access to information on websites or social media. Getting payment from customers has always been an issue, but the need for contracts and written documents was not as important as it is today. I always say that roofers’ policies, procedures, and contracts are like wills; they don’t want to look at them until it’s too late.

Most construction law books require a tremendous amount of patience and easy access to an online dictionary. This book is designed to be a quick read and (time permitting) probably the first in a series. I wanted to impart some self-help ideas to roofing contractors to help them navigate the legal hurdles they face daily. However, my goal was not to bore readers with citations to case law (although there are a few)—the book is written for contractors, not lawyers.
