        "text": "The biggest issues during roofing replacement are hidden damage, poor installation, and inadequate ventilation or flashing, which can lead to leaks and premature failure. Rushed tear-offs without proper protection can also damage landscaping and interiors.\n\nMost of these problems are preventable with a detailed scope and a contractor who follows manufacturer specifications. Roofing is as much about details as it is about the shingles or membrane you choose.\n\nKey factors:\n- Written scope covering underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and sheathing repairs\n- How hidden damage will be priced if discovered after tear-off\n- Proof of license, insurance, and manufacturer certifications\n- Cleanup plan and protection for gutters, driveway, and landscaping\n\nBefore signing, insist on a written contract with clear materials, installation methods, and change-order process. Ask for photos of the roof deck after tear-off and before new installation so you can verify that damaged areas were properly addressed."
