Step 01
Contract and scope
The signed proposal becomes the job plan: roof system, colors, allowances and any open selections to settle before ordering.
Your point of contact
One person keeping your job on track.
A roof replacement or larger commercial job has a lot of moving parts: permits, material delivery, crew scheduling and inspections. The project manager keeps them coordinated.

What the role covers
Scheduling, communication and follow-through
On re-roofs and larger residential and commercial projects, Perkins Roofing Corp. assigns a project manager to the job. That person coordinates the crew schedule, tracks material delivery, lines up inspections, and is who you call with a question while work is underway. You shouldn’t have to track down whoever happens to be on the roof that day.
Perkins describes the project manager’s main job as daily communication with the customer, dependability and transparency. The goal is that you always know what is happening on your job and when the next step comes, without having to chase it.
On the Perkins leadership team, project delivery and job-site safety sit under one role: Charles Mejia, Project and Safety Manager. See the team page.
From contract to closeout
What your project manager coordinates
Step 02
Permit
Roof replacements in South Florida need a building permit. On the roof-options packages, permitting is handled for you.
Step 03
Materials and schedule
Delivery is timed to the crew schedule, and site access and staging are planned with you or your association.
Step 04
Tear-off and dry-in
The old roof comes off, the deck is checked, and the underlayment goes on. Damaged decking often only shows up at this stage, so check how your proposal prices it.
Step 05
Installation and inspections
The new covering, flashing and sheet metal go on, and the project manager coordinates the building department’s required inspections.
Step 06
Closeout
Final inspection, clean-up and your paperwork. Packages that include a post-project wind mitigation report finish with that.
Which jobs get one
Included with most new-roof packages
The roof options comparison for shingle, tile, metal and flat roofs lists a dedicated project manager among the services included with the Protector, Preferred, Premium and Coastal packages. The lowest-price Penny package doesn’t include one. If you are comparing bids from other roofers, ask each one who your point of contact will be once work starts.
On occupied buildings the coordination matters even more. On the Fisher Island villas re-roof, every material delivery went by ferry, during hurricane season, around homes full of artwork and antiques. On the Coconut Grove condominium re-roof, residents and common areas had to be part of the plan.
Before work starts
Questions worth asking your project manager
- When is the permit expected, and when will materials be delivered?
- Where will materials and the dumpster be staged, and what needs protecting?
- How will you update me, and how often?
- If the crew finds damaged decking, how will I be told and asked to approve the repair?
- Which inspections are scheduled, and how will I hear the results?
- What paperwork will I receive at closeout?
