Give each junction an identifier
Mark the roof face, elevation, nearby room, penetration, and fixed reference. Photograph from safe ground or have the contractor provide labeled roof images. A description such as front flashing is too vague when several walls, edges, and valleys meet.
Ask what is concealed
Flashing can extend beneath covering, behind cladding, into masonry, or beneath a termination. The visible strip may be only one piece of the detail. Request the removal boundary and photographs of concealed laps or connections before new material closes the view.
Coordinate adjacent trades
A junction may require roofer, mason, siding installer, window specialist, mechanical contractor, or interior restorer. State who opens and closes each assembly and who confirms the water-shedding sequence. Sealant responsibility should be explicit rather than used to bridge an unresolved trade boundary.
Record material compatibility
Keep metal or membrane type, profile, finish, sealant, fasteners, retained material, movement provision, and test. If a visible detail changes at a designated property, retain the actual historic approval and approved product information with the roof file.
Call about the roof
Have the address, safe ground or interior observations, event timing, access contact, and any roof or permit record nearby. The call may connect you with an independent provider. Confirm who answered, Madison coverage, service fit, credentials, insurance, availability, price, permit responsibility, and contract terms.
