Installation quality matters
Premium materials cannot rescue poor installation.
Decking, flashing, ventilation, fastening, and drainage affect the entire system.
Manufacturer instructions and local requirements may change the correct installation method.
Weather and surface conditions can affect adhesives, sealants, welding, and material handling.
Hidden damage may only become visible after tear-off begins.
Photographs, product records, and change orders help document the completed work.
Final inspection and warranty registration matter after the last shingle or panel is installed.
