Confirm the site and building approval path, then coordinate the roof package with the rest of the plans. Identify the roof slopes, covering and proposed openings. Ask the builder to list the inspections and work by other trades that must happen before roofing can proceed. Base the order on approved selections rather than a preliminary material allowance.

Planning the work in Luling
Make the roof package part of the new-building submission
Luling lists roofing among work requiring permits and inspections. For new construction and additions, the city also requires a current survey. Its permit page directs plan submissions and inspection arrangements through the Permit Clerk.
Assembly decision
Impact: GAF roof-vent guidance cautions against mixing different exhaust types in the same attic space. Discuss the attic design with the building team before adding vents independently to an otherwise coordinated roof plan.
Our Solution: Ask for the applicable detail in the written roofing scope.
Questions to resolve before work starts
Use these steps to compare proposals and keep the project decisions in writing.
Confirm the building footprint
Check that the roof drawings correspond to the proposed building and addition footprint. Ask the builder to resolve mismatches before requesting final pricing.
Schedule penetrations with trades
List plumbing vents and other planned roof openings. Ask who supplies each flashing and who checks the finished connection.
Approve the roof package
Put the covering, underlayment and ventilation selections in writing. Record whether a proposed substitution changes other components.
Collect the construction record
Ask for detail photographs and relevant inspection results before closing out the roofing portion of the project.
What to bring to a roofing conversation
Bring the project description and the questions that remain unanswered.
Confirm the building footprint
Start with the actual roof area and requested work. Ask for assumptions and exclusions to be made explicit.
Make the roof package part of the new-building submission
A new-build roof estimate should make it possible to trace a material order back to a drawing. If a porch changes size or the builder relocates a roof opening, ask whether the roofing price and detail have changed too. Small drawing revisions can otherwise disappear between the designer, supplier and installer.
For a Luling project, use the city submission process as a point to settle those open decisions. Prepare one roof package containing the current plan, product selection and a list of work assigned to other trades. Ask bidders to flag missing information rather than quietly choosing an allowance.
At handover, save a copy of what was actually installed. An owner may need that record years later when adding solar equipment, changing ventilation or investigating a leak. A product name without the roof plan and connection details leaves the next contractor with more questions than the original project needed to create.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a survey part of a new-construction permit?
The linked Luling guidance lists a current survey for new construction and additions. Confirm the documents for your specific project with the Permit Clerk.
Is an installation bid interchangeable with a replacement bid?
No. A first-roof bid coordinates new building work; a replacement bid must address removal and the condition of existing construction.
Should the roofer choose all the vents independently?
Ask the building team to coordinate the attic and roof design. A vent change should be reviewed as part of that design.
What documents should the owner keep?
Keep the final roof plan, selected products, agreed exclusions, detail photos and applicable inspection records.
