Abstract
Ideally, installation of roofing should occur over a dry substrate, during dry weather and with no rain in the forecast. However, depending on the size and complexity of the project, construction schedules, and inclement weather, roof systems, in many instances, are not under the control of the roofing contractor. It needs to be made clear General Contractor that their role is to turn over a roof substrate that is suitable to accept roofing system. and this suitability includes providing wood sheathing at an acceptable moisture content which may require providing temporary protection until the roofing subcontractor commences their work.
