Terms & Conditions
1. Agreement:
This Agreement is between BCM Roofing (the “Company”) and the homeowner (the “Owner”) and/or their agents. The Company agrees to do the work (the “Work”) contained herein for the Owner.
2. Late Payment / Service Charge:
Any funds owed greater than 10 days beyond the Completion Date are subject to a service charge of two and one-half percent (2.5 %) per week on the unpaid balance.
3. Materials:
Company shall provide necessary labor, materials, and sales tax on materials to complete the Work as specified. All materials shall remain the property and title of the Company until fully paid by Owner. All surplus materials shall remain on the property unless, at Company’s option, turned over to the Owner upon the completion of the work.
4. Before Work Begins:
Before roofing work commences, please remove any artwork from the walls and valuables from shelves as vibrations from the re-roofing process may cause these items to fall. BCM Roofing is not responsible for items damaged due to building vibrations caused by the re-roofing process. BCM Roofing is not responsible for light fixtures or other mechanical equipment dislodged or damaged from building vibrations caused by the re-roofing process. BCM Roofing is not responsible for “nail-pops” caused in drywall due to the loading of materials or building vibration due to the re-roofing process. The Owner is responsible to check attic for any maintenance due to extreme temperatures.
5. Ventilation Inspection:
As part of the re-roofing process, BCM Roofing will make a visual inspection of the attic to determine whether any existing bath exhaust fans have been properly vented out of the structure. If improperly ventilated bath lines are discovered, BCM Roofing will properly exhaust these lines to a new specialty roof ducting vent at a cost of $250/each. BCM Roofing is not responsible for hidden bath or kitchen exhaust fans that may cause damage or mold growth due to excessive moisture being exhausted into the attic.
6. Supplier Delivery:
This quote assumes that material will be rooftop loaded by our supplier. This may require the homeowner to sign a damage waiver provided by our supplier, allowing our supplier to access the driveway with a loaded truck. If the homeowner refuses to sign this waiver, additional fees will apply to cover the cost of additional material handling by our workers. BCM Roofing is not responsible for any damage to driveways or walks caused by the loading of materials or the re-roofing process by material supplier.
7. Incidental Damage:
Plumbing, hidden wiring or conduit, such as low voltage wiring or line voltage conduit which is buried under the roofing or hidden under the deck, cannot be seen and therefore it is very difficult to avoid coming in contact with it and damaging it. If the owner is aware of such wiring or conduit, it is imperative that the owner provides a scale schematic drawing so that we can locate this wiring prior to starting work. The cost of repairs to damaged conduit, piping or wiring which was hidden, will be extra. All wiring should be in rigid conduit and mechanically protected to minimize the danger to our workers and the potential for damaging it.
8. Owner Responsibilities:
Owner warrants to Company that he/she is the legal owner of the Property. Owner agrees to provide to Company at no charge, electric power and water for construction purposes. Owner acknowledges that the removal of permanently attached building materials often disturbs and vibrates the existing Property. The debris generated from this Work and related procedures may cause inconvenience or discomfort which is normal construction wear and tear conditions, and not Company negligence and may include, but is not limited to, interior wall cracks, drywall nail pops, flaking of wall paint, debris falling into an attic, disturbance to shrubbery and lawns.
