FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
Roofing Manufacturer Requirements
What are shingle manufacturer requirements for roofing projects?
Shingle manufacturer requirements are the official installation standards published by brands like GAF, Owens Corning and IKO. They define exactly how materials must be installed to maintain warranty and performance standards and they are what insurance carriers reference when reviewing your estimate.
Why do shingle manufacturer requirements matter for my roofing jobs?
When local codes do not cover a specific installation detail like fastening pattern or drip edge placement, the manufacturer's guide becomes the governing standard. Meeting those requirements helps you avoid denied claims, warranty voids and expensive rework.
How can I use the Manufacturer Requirements Report in my estimate?
Generate the report for your project's address and shingle brand, then include it in your estimate or claim file. It shows the carrier that your line items follow both local code and manufacturer standards, which significantly speeds up approvals and reduces back-and-forth with adjusters.
What should I follow if my local area has no specific roofing codes?
When the Authority Having Jurisdiction has not adopted local roofing codes, insurance carriers reference manufacturer installation specifications as the next best standard. OneClick Code's Manufacturer Requirements Report automatically pulls the official installation requirements for your chosen shingle brand and SKU, giving you a defensible, compliant scope to submit for review.
Where can I find installation guides for major shingle brands?
OneClick Code's Manufacturer Requirements Report includes verified installation requirements and direct links to official guides for GAF Timberline, Owens Corning Oakridge, IKO, TAMKO, Atlas Roofing, CertainTeed, Malarkey and BP shingles, so you are always working from the current manufacturer documentation.
Does following manufacturer requirements help with warranty approval?
