01Include the surfaces beneath the finish
When planning a roof replacement, ask how the roof deck will be reviewed and how any necessary additional work would be priced and approved. For siding, discuss the existing wall surface and trim connections. A clear estimate explains both the visible materials and the preparation included in the scope.
02Plattsmouth has a roofing requirements handout
The city's Building and Zoning page links a roofing handout covering ventilation, ice and water protection, and roof sheathing. It also provides building permit forms and inspector contact information. Bring questions about those topics to your project discussion, and confirm the current requirements for the property before work begins.
03Review the roof-to-gutter connection
If the roof and gutters are both being considered, identify which gutters will remain and which will be replaced. Ask how fascia condition, roof-edge details, downspout locations, and installation order will be handled. Include any detached garage or porch roof you want considered in the same review.
