First-Call Voice — § 05

Five things we say on every first call.

Code of practice
Rev. 2026

01

Most Alaska roof failures start in the attic.

Bad ventilation, not bad shingles. So the inspection looks up and inside before it looks down at the field — and the bid lines out what the attic actually needs.

02

The scope is written on the roof, photographed for the adjuster.

Drone-mapped images plus a walk-on photo set, formatted to the carrier's intake. Most claims approve on the first review when the scope is written right.

03

Tarps need battens. Plastic-and-sandbag tarps blow off in the next wind.

Emergency tarping is built like the next roof: strapped, battened, and lapped uphill. It buys you the time you need to schedule the real job.

04

If the framing isn't square, the shingle won't lie right.

Decking inspection is non-negotiable. Soft sheets are pulled. Rotten rafters are sistered. The substrate has to be right before the underlayment goes down.

05

We don't sell roofs that don't need replacing.

A repair scope and a re-roof scope are different conversations. The inspection PDF tells you which one your roof needs — and which year you should plan for it.
