When should a contractor use this roofing template?
Use this when roofing work changes after inspection, tear-off, supplement review, material selection, or weather-driven sequencing.
Roofing Change Order Template
Roofing changes often start when tear-off reveals hidden decking, rotten fascia, flashing conflicts, ventilation gaps, or storm supplement documentation needs. Every trade has scope drift. StackQuotes turns it into a documented approval path.
When to use this
Use this when roofing work changes after inspection, tear-off, supplement review, material selection, or weather-driven sequencing.
It is built for roofers who need the field condition, added price, schedule impact, and customer approval action tied to the job record.
What to document
- Roof area, slope, elevation, and original scope item being changed.
- Photos or inspection notes showing decking, fascia, flashing, ventilation, or storm supplement conditions.
- Labor, material, disposal, permit, supplement, and schedule impact tied to the changed roofing work.
- Customer approval action required before the roofer treats the changed work as approved.

StackQuotes bridge
Templates help you write the request. StackQuotes helps you keep the approval record tied to the job.
StackQuotes connects the request, pricing basis, customer action, and job record so the change does not live only in texts, photos, or a final invoice.
CTA
Use StackQuotes when the trade change needs to stay connected to the quote, scope, approval action, and job record.
How to use this
Attach photos from tear-off or inspection before pricing the changed roofing scope.
Separate storm supplement documentation from customer approval so a carrier conversation is not treated as approval.
Save the approved roofing change with the original quote, roof scope, pricing notes, and final job record.
Approval boundary
Templates help you write the request. StackQuotes helps you keep the approval record tied to the job.
A draft, conversation, estimate, diagnostic note, selection, or field photo is not the same as customer approval. Treat the change as approved only after the customer takes the approval action requested in the record.

Common mistakes
- Replacing hidden decking without documenting the roof area and photos.
- Treating an insurance supplement discussion as customer approval.
- Leaving weather or crew schedule impact out of the change order.
- Bundling material upgrades into the invoice without a documented approval path.
