The Customer understands that TJC Home Improvement LLC maintains the right to remove all unused materials at the end of the project.

Chimneys: TJC Home Improvement is not responsible for deteriorating chimneys, chimney caps, mortar or brick. If there is an existing chimney leak that has occurred above the flashing line, the leak is not the responsibility of TJC Home Improvement. If it is requested for the chimney to be removed down to the roof line, a letter from an HVAC professional will need to be provided before scheduling the roof installation. The HVAC will be the responsibility of the homeowner.

Skylights: If the customer chooses to reflash rather than replace the skylight, the skylight will not be included in the warranty of the roof.

Gutter Guards: Customer can have previous installer remove and reset existing gutter guards/helmets. If they are not removed prior to roof installation, TJC Home Improvement LLC will remove the gutter guard system and will NOT replace them. TJC Home Improvement LLC will not be liable for the re-installation of existing gutter guards.

In the event a punch list occurs, TJC Home Improvement LLC reserves the right to collect 90% of the total project cost. The customer may retain 10% of the total project cost until the entire punch list is satisfied. Punch list to be completed by TJC Home Improvement, LLC within seven (7) days. 90% collection is still required upon substantial completion to avoid additional interest. Please see payment policy below.

The Customer understands that payment in full is due upon completion of work as stated in the contract. All invoices not paid in full within three (3) days will be subject to a $500 late payment charge and a 2% per month interest charge on any unpaid balances.

TJC Home Improvement, LLC will do everything possible to protect both the inside and outside of your home but will not be held responsible for incidental or accidental damages that may occur to plants, shrubs, gardens, lawns, ornamentals, and lighting outside the home as well as ceilings, drywall, and fixtures inside the home. In most cases, tarps/covers are used outside the home to protect vulnerable areas, and we recommend to our customers that they remove valuable items such as paintings, pictures, loose lighting fixtures, knick-knacks, urns, and such from shelves and/or walls to avoid damage from pounding and vibrations.

Also, in situations where skylight units are involved, we highly recommend that our customer move any loose items situated underneath the skylight units and cover the immediate area underneath with a tarp or drop cloth as it is likely that some small amounts of roofing debris may fall during the roofing process. Any existing roof-top equipment that is re-installed with the new roof system will not be covered under the 1-year workmanship or the limited materials warranty by the manufacturer. It is to be considered discretionary, and “after-the-fact” replacement shall be the responsibility of the homeowner. (This includes any/all roof penetrations, equipment, and skylight units).

NOTE: It is inevitable that dirt, dust, and debris will fall into the attic/crawlspace through the cracks in the sheathing during the re-roofing process. The process of tearing off the old roofing materials and hammering makes this impossible to avoid.
Therefore, it is the customer’s responsibility to remove or cover any items stored in the attic/crawlspace prior to commencement of the project.

Please know that... we complete roofing projects just like yours almost every day and are proud of our accomplishments and successes. We want you to have the best experience possible and hope that you will share with family, friends, and neighbors.
