Confirm roof geometry, pitch, local code, structural limits, wind and snow loads, manufacturer coverage, underlayment rules, ventilation requirements, drainage design, fall protection, permits, and installation details with a qualified roofer, contractor, engineer, supplier, or inspector before ordering or building.
