Roofing checklist

[Michael R. Boyett]

Many warranty issues seem ambiguous, and may be open to interpretation, conveniently to suit the manufacturers preservation and not the shingle warranties.

Yes, I suspect that is true. I did talk to the Owens Corning Technical Support group this morning and they said the use of OSB as decking is perfectly fine and does not void the warranty.

I'd probably put a line identifying the slope

Done

This is what I altered may or may not be useful

Cool, I copied that and will make sure my mini-checklist covers the main points of that one as well.

Here are my final versions of the checklist, one is a pdf file and the other is a Word file.

You might consider adding:
-synthetic underlayment.
-Method used to create valleys.
-valley lining material
-cut, CA cut, open or woven valleys
-Shingle installation method
-Look for racking
-Confirm use of step flashing
Confirm kickout flashing installed where required
-Confirm proper headwall flashing installation
-Staples are OK if allowed by jurisdiction and if properly placed and driven.
-Confirm underlayment is cut out at vents
-Confirm longer nails used for cap shingles or ridge vent

Once they've had a chance to heat up, check for adequate bonding.
