Repair and replacement guidance
Find the answer without guessing at the roof
You do not need any of these pages to get a roof fixed. They are for the part that comes after the inspection, when you are holding two quotes, a claim letter or an HOA form and want to know what the words mean. Each one is written for Forney: the city permit process, the Historic Overlay Zone downtown, the HOA rules in the master-planned communities and the storms that actually crossed Kaufman County.
If water is coming in right now, skip this page and go to roof repair. A checklist cannot find a leak.

A useful question is specific: Which flashings are being replaced? How is additional decking measured? Who confirms the permit requirement? Which warranty issuer handles a material defect? Those answers are more helpful than a vague reassurance that everything is included.
The warranty guide explains coverage terms to request in writing. Keep your notes with the actual proposal so the remaining questions are easy to resolve.
