A St. Louis-area roofing contractor discovered during tear-off that the decking needed replacement. The permit came through promptly, but the contractor says the municipal decking inspection was about three weeks out. The crew installed transparent Steel Skin Shield across the roof while it waited.
When the inspector arrived, the contractor reports that the decking could be inspected through the covering and the crew did not have to remove it. What an inspector needs to see will depend on the job; confirm access requirements with the inspector before covering the work.
The contractor submitted an invoice, a scope of work, and an explanation of the delay. It reports billing $19 per square foot and later receiving payment. The account does not specify the final payment amount.
