Whether you are reading your first quote, sitting through a walkthrough, or trying to figure out what a crew is doing on your roof, every definition here is written in plain language.

Most Glossaries Are Written For Contractors

This one is not. Every entry is written the way a knowledgeable friend would explain it. Clearly, without condescension, and without assuming you already know the answer. If a term shows up on a quote or a permit and you cannot find it here, tell us and we will add it.
