Every customer gets five documents. Most roofing companies hand over none of them.
A roof is covered up as it’s installed. The Power Package is the paper trail that proves what you actually bought.
A finished roof cannot be inspected
The moment the last shingle goes down, everything that determines how long the roof lasts is out of sight.
A homeowner standing in the driveway after a replacement cannot verify the underlayment, cannot see whether the flashings were replaced or reused, cannot confirm which products were installed, and has no way of knowing whether the manufacturer warranty was ever registered. Those are the four things that decide whether the roof performs for twenty-five years or fails in eight, and all four are unverifiable by the time the crew leaves.
The standard practice in this industry is to hand over an invoice and drive away. The Power Package is five documents 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
Five documents. 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.
The system warranty from the manufacturer you selected, registered in your name, with the registration confirmation included. Atrium is a certified installer for Owens Corning, GAF, Atlas, and Malarkey, 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, most homeowners never receive proof that it was, and an unregistered warranty is worth nothing at the moment it is needed.
The document you submit to your insurance carrier to claim the wind-and-hail premium discount on a UL 2218 Class 4 roof. State Farm publishes a discount of up to 30 percent on that portion of the premium; 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.
The supplier's own invoice, showing exactly what was purchased, in what quantity, from which local supplier. This is the one that matters most. It is the only document that proves the materials specified in the proposal are the materials that actually went on your roof. Substitution is invisible once the roof is finished. Handing over the supplier invoice removes the possibility — and almost no contractor does it, because it also shows what they paid.
Why this matters more in roofing than anywhere else
Most large purchases leave evidence behind. A roof does not.
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, every element that determines service life — decking, underlayment, flashing, ventilation — is permanently out of sight.
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 five 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 after the next layer nothing underneath can be verified.
- 2At completion
The certificate of completion is issued and dated. That date is what the warranty period runs from.
- 3Registration
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 all five documents 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.
