Terms & Conditions

Welcome to CurtiS and Curtis Roofing! We are committed to providing our customers with high-quality roofing solutions and ensuring that all projects are completed with the utmost professionalism, integrity, and efficiency. By entering into a project agreement with us, you agree to the following terms and conditions. Please read them carefully to ensure a clear understanding of the process, responsibilities, and expectations for both parties.

1. Agreement Overview

This agreement outlines the terms and conditions between CurtiS and Curtis Roofing (hereafter referred to as "Contractor") and the Customer (homeowner or business) for the roofing services and products to be provided. By signing the contract, the Customer agrees to the following terms, which apply to all roofing installations, repairs, or services provided by the Contractor.

2. Scope of Work

The scope of work will be clearly defined in the project contract. It includes all roofing services, materials, labor, and other associated work required to complete the roofing project. Any changes or additions to the scope of work will require written approval by both parties and may result in additional charges.

The Contractor agrees to:

• Provide roofing materials and labor necessary for the completion of the agreed-upon scope of work.
• Ensure all roofing systems are installed according to industry standards and local building codes.
• Obtain any necessary permits required for the roofing project.

The Customer agrees to:

• Provide access to the property as necessary for the Contractor’s crew to complete the work.
• Notify the Contractor of any specific instructions or concerns related to the project.

3. Payment Terms

The Customer agrees to pay the Contractor according to the payment schedule outlined in the project contract. Payment terms will vary based on the size, scope, and complexity of the project. The typical payment structure includes an upfront deposit and progress payments, with the final balance due upon completion of the project.

• Deposit: An initial deposit, typically [X]% of the total project cost, is required upon signing the contract to secure the project start date.
• Progress Payments: Payments for ongoing work or milestones may be due at specific points throughout the project, as agreed upon in the contract.
• Final Payment: The final balance is due upon the completion of the project. The project will be considered complete when the work has been finished, and the roofing system has passed final inspections, if applicable.

If payments are not made according to the schedule, the Contractor reserves the right to suspend work until payment is received. In case of non-payment, the Contractor may charge interest on overdue amounts at a rate of [X]% per month or the maximum rate permitted by law.

4. Project Timeline

The Contractor will provide an estimated timeline for the completion of the project. However, the timeline may be subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances, including weather delays, material availability, and other factors beyond the Contractor’s control.

The Customer acknowledges that roofing projects can be subject to delays due to:

• Weather Conditions: Inclement weather such as rain, snow, or high winds may cause delays in roofing work.
• Material Delays: Shortages or delays in the delivery of roofing materials may affect the project timeline.
• Unforeseen Structural Issues: If the Contractor discovers additional damage or issues during the project that were not initially identified, the timeline may need to be adjusted.

The Contractor will notify the Customer promptly if any changes to the timeline are necessary and will work to minimize delays.

5. Customer Responsibilities

To ensure the timely and successful completion of the roofing project, the Customer agrees to the following responsibilities:

• Property Access: Provide the Contractor with adequate access to the property, including any areas that may need to be repaired or replaced.
• Safety and Protection: Ensure that pets, children, and other individuals are kept clear of the worksite to ensure their safety.
• Pre-Project Preparation: Clear the work area of any obstacles or personal belongings that may interfere with the work. This includes removing items from attic spaces, removing fragile outdoor items, and trimming back vegetation or branches that may obstruct access to the roof.
• Payment on Time: Make all payments as specified in the project contract.

Failure to meet these responsibilities may result in delays or additional charges to the Customer.

6. Materials and Warranties

All materials provided by the Contractor will be new, of high quality, and sourced from reputable manufacturers. The specific materials used for the project will be listed in the project contract.

The Contractor offers a [X]-year workmanship warranty on all roofing installations, which covers defects or failures in workmanship that occur within the warranty period. The warranty does not cover damage caused by external factors such as extreme weather, natural disasters, or improper maintenance.

Materials provided by manufacturers may come with their own separate warranty. The Contractor will assist the Customer in filing claims with the manufacturer in case of material defects during the warranty period. However, the Contractor’s liability is limited to the warranty terms provided by the manufacturer, and the Customer must adhere to all maintenance and care instructions for materials to remain under warranty.

7. Insurance and Licensing

The Contractor is fully licensed, insured, and bonded to perform roofing work. The Contractor holds general liability insurance to protect against property damage and worker’s compensation insurance to cover the safety of its employees.

The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the property is adequately insured to cover any damage that may occur during the project. The Contractor’s insurance will not cover damages that result from pre-existing conditions or damages caused by the Customer’s failure to maintain the property.

8. Permits and Inspections

The Contractor will obtain all necessary permits required for the roofing project. The Customer is responsible for the cost of any permits or fees associated with the project, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.

The project will be subject to local building codes and regulations. Inspections may be required at various stages of the project, depending on local laws. The Contractor will coordinate inspections with the appropriate authorities and make any necessary adjustments to meet code requirements.

If an inspection reveals issues that require additional work, the Contractor will notify the Customer and provide an estimate for the necessary repairs.

9. Change Orders

Any changes to the scope of work after the contract has been signed must be made in writing and approved by both parties. If the Customer requests additional work or modifications, a change order will be issued outlining the additional costs, materials, and adjusted timeline.

Change orders will be subject to the same payment terms and conditions as the original contract. The Customer agrees to pay for any additional costs incurred as a result of changes to the project.

10. Termination of Agreement

Either party may terminate the agreement with written notice under the following circumstances:

• By the Customer: The Customer may terminate the contract if the Contractor fails to meet the terms of the agreement, including but not limited to delays or failure to complete the work. In such cases, the Customer may be entitled to a refund for any work not completed, subject to the terms of the contract.
• By the Contractor: The Contractor may terminate the agreement if the Customer fails to make payments or breaches any other terms of the contract. In such cases, the Customer will be responsible for any work completed up to the point of termination, and no further work will be performed.

In the event of termination, both parties agree to resolve any outstanding issues in good faith and according to the terms outlined in the contract.

11. Dispute Resolution

In the event of a dispute, both parties agree to attempt to resolve the issue through negotiation or mediation before pursuing legal action. If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation, the matter may be taken to arbitration or litigation, depending on the nature of the disagreement and the laws of the local jurisdiction.

12. Limitation of Liability

The Contractor’s liability is limited to the cost of the roofing services provided and does not include consequential or incidental damages, such as loss of property, business interruption, or personal injury. The Contractor is not responsible for any damage to the property caused by natural disasters, severe weather, or other external factors beyond its control.
