How to Benefit from this Proposal
Let Me Be Your Advocate
Thank you, Derek, for the opportunity to present this unique strategy to address your roofing
needs. By taking into consideration your goals and concerns, we are convinced that the options
presented in this proposal will be of great benefit to you. It's my desire that you take just a few
moments to review this proposal in its entirety. It won't take long and will be time very well
spent.
Your choice of roofing contractor is an important decision indeed, and
we thank you for considering RTN Roofing. However, choosing a
contractor on price alone almost always ends badly. Installation and
design mistakes can shorten your roof’s life and will only add to on-
going repair costs down the road. Don't gamble with your finances!
Spending a little less now may end up costing you a lot more later,
especially if you don't know what you're getting. So please choose
your contractor carefully.
While we feel that it is vitally important for you to take the time to
educate yourself on what is presented herein, please let me be your
advocate in this effort. You don't need to "go-it-alone." Allow me the opportunity to help you
understand what we've recommended and why. The knowledge gained will be indispensable as
it relates to making the right choice in contractor, installation method, and product type.
Sincerely,
Jeff Bess

Executive Summary
The Problem
Your roof has been thoroughly inspected and evaluated,
and we have the following observations:
The existing seams are beginning to open up throughout
the roof. The screws are starting to become loose, some
are backing out, and many are completely missing in
several areas. The material used to seal the rooftop
penetrations is failing and is at the end of its useful life.
The seams will continue to open up with time and are in
need of immediate repair in order to prevent exposure to the elements and from allowing water
from entering the building. The loose and missing screws should be replaced with new
oversized screws. The failing material used to seal the rooftop penetrations needs to be
removed, and new material needs to be installed to keep water out of the facility and prevent
damage to interior contents.

The Solution
The following information has been specifically designed to
address the above-described problems. Where it made
sense to do so, we've provided various options so
that you can select what best suits your needs.
We've tried to be as thorough as possible, which can often
lead to a scope that requires further clarification, especially
due to its importance to the manufacturer, the building
code, or for some other not-so-obvious reason. The criteria
we used to determine our value-based recommendation
includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:
We greatly encourage you to provides us with the opportunity to discuss with you why we are
recommending what we are, as well as to help you fully understand your options. This
discussion can take place either over the phone or in person, whichever you prefer.

2 Durability

5 Impact On the Environment and Existing Building Structure

Deteriorated metal decking, if any, will be removed and replaced on the time & materials
basis of $75 per hour, plus materials, which will not be marked up more than 15%.
2
The roof will be thoroughly cleaned via pressure washing to remove dirt and other
contaminants that could prevent proper adhesion of the roof restoration system. (Note:
Specialized cleaning may be required if the roof surface is heavily soiled.)
3
The surrounding surfaces will be protected with tape, tarps, and/or plastic sheeting, or
by other means as necessary, to prevent contamination of those surfaces.
4
Any loose and/or missing screws will be removed and replaced with oversized screws.
(This includes the cap metal.)

and will be applied at the rate of 1 gallons per 100 square feet, totaling an approximate
dry thickness of 16 mils. The top coat will be Silicone and will be applied at the rate of
1.5 gallons per 100 square feet, totaling an approximate dry thickness of 24 mils. The

Details
All perimeter edges, and any skylights, adjoining walls, curbs, and penetrations will be
detailed independently to ensure that these points of stress in the roof are sound and
prepared to accept the roof restoration system.
1
Miscellaneous
Satellite dishes and/or antennae that are present on the roof will need to be moved
around throughout the new roof restoration system application. RTN will diligently place
these items back to their original locations. However, RTN will not be responsible for the
realignment or recalibration of such equipment if this becomes necessary.
1
Cleanup will be performed on a regular basis throughout the project. RTN will keep the
roof and grounds free of unnecessary clutter and debris.
2
Upon completion, RTN will perform a comprehensive inspection to ensure the application
meets the highest standards of quality workmanship and customer expectations. Any
punch list items will be completed in a timely fashion.
3
HVAC and electrical work, if any, to be done by others unless specifically included in the
scope of work above.
4
All work will be performed in a courteous, trustworthy, competent, and professional
manner.
5
All work will be performed with due consideration for safety guidelines established by
OSHA and by RTN's own in-house safety standards.
6
Adhesion Test Requirement
Adhesion of the RTN Brand Coatings product to the existing roof surface is essential for
performance. To determine this, it will be necessary to perform an adhesion test on the roof
using the RTN Brand Coatings product. A small sample of product will be installed on the roof
and allowed to cure for a minimum of a few days. The sample will then be tested for adhesive
resistance to ensure that the product will perform to our high standards and that it is in
compliance with the manufacturer’s requirements.
Please enjoy many years of worry-free service provided by your new RTN Brand
Coatings roof restoration system!

Know What You're Getting
Why It Matters
By taking the time to review the scope(s) of work presented herein, you benefit in 2 very
important ways:
It allows you to more accurately compare what other bidders are providing you
- or not providing you, as the case may be. Since price seldom tells the whole story,
it is imperative that you compare apples to apples. Only by doing so can you ensure that
you are not wasting your money. Don't make the mistake of assuming that you are
getting something that you really aren't, especially if you should be.
1
It helps you to establish a knowledge base when evaluating other contractors.
Items not included in your scope (or too much fluff) can betray a contractor that is not
looking at your project with a keen eye or is simply not knowledgeable enough for the
job. Don't take chances with such a large and important investment. Make sure you
know what you are getting.
2
A Word of Caution
It's not always what has been included that is most
important - more often than not, it is what has been
excluded. Unfortunately, that can be a very difficult
thing to ascertain because excluded items are not
always specifically excluded; they simply don't appear.
But how do you know what you don't know?
That's why we ask that you let us help you evaluate scopes of work from your other bidders, if
any. There is no need to show us prices. Our interest lies in making sure that you know what
you are getting and to ensure that quality is not being sacrificed due to contractor shortcuts or
a failure to fully assess the needs of your project. We believe that being properly informed
makes for the best decisions.

more than 20 million square feet of new roofing systems installed.

everything in between.
Jeff moved from Florida to Colorado in 1996 and has continued to
expand his profession ever since by a deliberate focus on
implementing new technologies for unparalleled customer satisfaction and an adherence to the
highest standards of safety, ethics, and professionalism – qualities too often lacking in this
industry. Jeff Lozon is a Haag-Certified Inspector

Starting out in his grandfather’s roofing company back in Oregon, he
has worked with almost every roofing challenge and product

practical “hands-on” experience. Roof consulting has become second
nature to him and he continues to educate himself on all the latest advances in the industry.

Employees
The best laid plans are only as good as the people implementing those plans. That's why
we take the acquisition of quality employees to be of paramount importance. You get
the best results when a quality product is installed by a quality team of dedicated people. That's
the approach we take.
“ I appreciate the photos and record of the work done. More importantly, I want
you and the entire RTN [Roofing] team to know how much I appreciate the
professionalism, punctuality, and quality that is a part of all you do. If you ever need a
reference or testimonial, feel free to call on me.
Dick Y.
Regarding his residential Duro-Last installation
But this can often be a hard nut to crack. In recent years, this country has seen a steep decline
in good, quality people who are willing to work hard for an honest day's wage. The construction
industry is one of the hardest hit sectors; Colorado, in particular.
Because of that, many companies have taken the approach that any warm body will do. But we
know that we are only as good as the people we have working for us, and so in our search for
RTN-qualified employees, we look for an individual's:
1 Commitment to Safety
2 Personal Integrity, Honesty, and Level of Accountability
3 Attention to Detail
4 Concern for Our Customers' Best Interests
5 Willing Adherence to RTN Policies and Standards
6 Camaraderie
7 Overall Attitude and "Teach-ability"

Adherence to these strict standards further limits the pool of qualified personnel from which to
draw. But it also ensures that the people working on your roof are truly the best of the
best, and that translates into a job well done for you.
“ We are very pleased with the quality workmanship, professionalism, and
attention to detail that we received from everyone involved in the company. I find that
RTN maintains a pool of highly-skilled employees. This is a very important consideration
when deciding who should be awarded any roof installation project. RTN also continues
to hold a perfect safety record at our facility.

Power Plant Coordinator
Superior Products
As the Flat Roof Experts, we have a very prestigious reputation in our industry. Our stellar
reputation stems from staying on the edge of technology, allowing us to offer the best products
available. We only use products that are truly in the best interests of our customers – products
we can stand behind. Products that work.
When restoration is a viable option, it is important not to waste that
opportunity by using an inferior product. Using a high‑quality product
like RTN Brand Coatings – the product recommended for your
particular project – allows you to take advantage of all the benefits
of a roof restoration system without having to sacrifice quality or
long-term warranty protection. But it’s important to be proactive because when a failing roof is
left unaddressed for too long it will quickly deteriorate to a point of no return, limiting your
options and increasing the expense of a viable solution.
We’ve learned that while you usually get what you pay for, oftentimes the expensive approach
isn’t always necessary. Restoration can usually save thousands of dollars over a complete tear-
off and replacement. But since only a close examination of the specifics involved can reveal the
best course of action, it’s critical to have the best, most-qualified roofing contractor involved –
someone who knows the nuances of such an important decision.
