Up to five closeout documents, depending on your roofing system.
A roof is covered up as it’s installed. The Power Package is the paper trail that documents what you actually bought.
Most of a roof is hidden once it is finished
Decking, underlayment, flashing details and ventilation are covered by the layers above them, so they can only be checked while the work is underway or from the records.
After a replacement, a homeowner on the ground generally cannot see the underlayment, cannot tell whether the flashings were replaced or reused, cannot confirm which products were installed, and has no way to tell whether the manufacturer warranty was registered. Those four items affect how the roof performs over time, and none of them can be checked by looking at the finished surface once the crew leaves.
A paid invoice on its own tells you what a roof cost, not what went on it. The Power Package is up to five documents, depending on your roofing system, delivered at project completion that make the work checkable after the fact. It is not a perk and we would rather it not be read as one — it exists so that a homeowner can confirm what they paid for, years later, without taking anyone's word for it, including ours.
What’s inside
Up to five documents, depending on your roofing system. What each one is, and why it matters after the job is done.
A formal, dated acknowledgment that the project is finished. It belongs in your property records, it is the document a buyer's agent asks for at resale, and it is the dated anchor the warranty period runs from. Without it, the start date of your coverage is a matter of memory.
Where your system and certification tier qualify, the system warranty from the manufacturer you selected, registered in your name, with the registration confirmation included. Atrium holds certifications with Owens Corning, GAF, TAMKO, Atlas, and Malarkey, and the warranty is registered with the applicable manufacturer when the installed system qualifies, so the document you receive matches the system that went on your roof. Atrium holds Owens Corning Platinum Preferred, the top tier of the Owens Corning contractor network, which makes the enhanced Owens Corning system warranty available on our installs. We also hold GAF Certified Plus, which makes the GAF Silver Pledge available. These system warranties cover material and, at these tiers, workmanship, and they are registered with the manufacturer in your name. A system warranty does not attach automatically because a certified contractor did the work. It has to be registered, and the registration confirmation is how you know it was. An enhanced system warranty that was never registered is not there when you need it.
Included when the installed system is impact-rated. The document you submit to your insurance carrier to claim the wind-and-hail premium discount on a UL 2218 Class 4 roof. The amount varies by carrier and policy, so check yours. It is the specific paper carriers ask for, and homeowners frequently do not know it exists. See hail damage for how Class 4 performs.
A clean record showing the work was completed and paid in full. It matters at resale, it is what an insurance carrier wants during claim reconciliation to release recoverable depreciation, and it is the simplest proof you have of what the project cost.
On shingle replacements, the supplier's own invoice, showing what was purchased, in what quantity, from which local supplier. With the certificate of completion and paid invoice, it shows what you purchased. Once the roof is finished, you cannot tell by looking which products were installed, which makes this a useful document to ask any roofer about.
Documents vary by roofing system. Every replacement includes a certificate of completion and a paid invoice. Shingle replacements also include the supplier's material invoice. Impact-resistant certification is included only when the installed system is impact-rated. A registered manufacturer system warranty is included only where the system and certification tier qualify.
Why this matters more in roofing than anywhere else
Most large purchases leave evidence behind. A roof's hidden layers leave it only if someone documents them.
A roof is assembled in layers, and each layer is covered by the next as the work proceeds. Decking condition is hidden by underlayment, underlayment by shingles, flashing detail by the courses that lap over it. By the time the project is complete, the elements that affect service life — decking, underlayment, flashing, ventilation — are covered by the finished surface.
Compare that to anything else of similar cost. A car carries a VIN and a service history that follows it between owners. A kitchen renovation leaves permits, inspections, and appliances with model numbers on them. A roof leaves a homeowner judging thirty thousand dollars of work by how it looks from the street, which is the one measure that reveals nothing about how it was built.
The Power Package is an attempt to give roofing the paper trail other purchases already have. It does not make the work better on its own. It makes the work verifiable, which over time tends to have the same effect.
What it costs
Nothing.
The Power Package is included with every replacement. It is not an upgrade, not an add-on, and not attached to a premium tier, and you do not have to ask for it. The documents are a byproduct of doing the job properly; withholding them would take more effort than sending them.
If you have already had a roof replaced by someone else and want to know which of these documents you should have received, ask us and we will tell you. There is nothing in it for us, and it is a fifteen-minute conversation that occasionally saves a homeowner a warranty claim or an insurance discount they did not know they were entitled to.
When you get it
Four steps, ending with an email you keep.
- 1During the project
We photograph and document as the assembly goes on, layer by layer, because once the next layer goes on, the layer beneath it can no longer be seen.
- 2At completion
The certificate of completion is issued and dated. That date is what the warranty period runs from.
- 3Registration
Where your system and certification tier qualify, the system warranty is registered with the manufacturer in your name and we obtain the confirmation rather than assuming it went through.
- 4Delivery
The full package arrives by email with every document that applies to your system attached, typically within a few days of final completion.
The documents are yours to keep and to forward — to an insurance carrier applying a premium discount, to a buyer's agent during a sale, or to a future roofer who needs to know what is already on the house.
