TERMS & CONDITIONS
COMPANY: All the Way Gutter Protection Inc
1) Scope of Work:
On the CUSTOMER’S behalf, the COMPANY agrees to seek approval from the CUSTOMER’S insurance company, in all insurance claims, for the repair and/or replacement of the CUSTOMER’S project to which they are contracted with the COMPANY to complete. The CUSTOMER understands that the COMPANY’S inspection of their structure(s) may reveal hidden problems and that correction of these hidden problems may require additional work be done at an additional cost to the CUSTOMER. Any additional work identified shall be performed only upon execution of a written Change Order as described in Section 8 below.
2) Insurance Approval:
If the work to be performed is not approved by the CUSTOMER’S insurance carrier, the CUSTOMER may cancel the contract with no further obligation to the COMPANY. If the COMPANY is unable to perform the work for the amount the CUSTOMER insurance company agrees to pay plus the amount of the CUSTOMER’S insurance deductible, the COMPANY has no further obligation under the CONTRACT. The CUSTOMER agrees to cooperate fully with the COMPANY and their insurance carrier in all inspections, documentation, and communications necessary to process the insurance claim.
3) Payment:
a) Insurance: The CUSTOMER agrees to pay the COMPANY 100% of the insurance proceeds paid by the CUSTOMER’S insurance carrier. The CUSTOMER is responsible for payment of any deductible due under the terms of their insurance policy. If the CUSTOMER chooses to pay the COMPANY by credit card, 3% fee will be assessed on the total contract price. The CUSTOMER agrees to pay the COMPANY on the following terms:
i) Initial Payment: The CUSTOMER will pay a 30% non-refundable deposit of the full payment amount listed on this contract by the CUSTOMER before project work will commence, for all custom siding and metal roof installations or any type of project over $20,000. Only 15% non refundable deposit required for non-custom roofing, siding, and less than $20,000 project installations. Work will commence when CUSTOMER pays the COMPANY the first insurance installment received by CUSTOMER plus full amount of the deductible required for the CUSTOMER by the CUSTOMER’S insurance company. All additional costs, included but not limited to, upgrades agreed upon on this contract or contract addendums, additional materials needed for rot/damage that arise during project installation/repair, MUST be paid upon project completion as well. Certificate of Completion document will be submitted by the COMPANY to the CUSTOMER and the CUSTOMER’s insurance company, once the before mentioned Initial Payments have all been satisfied.
ii) Final Payment: Due upon arrival of the remaining payment portion from the CUSTOMER’S insurance company. If final payment isn’t paid once insurance releases additional payments, a late fee of 3% will start accruing on CUSTOMER’S unpaid balance 30 days after the date the CUSTOMER’s insurance company releases the final payment(s). If CUSTOMER’s mortgage company is required to sign the check of final payment(s) sent by the CUSTOMER’s insurance company, an additional 14 days will be allotted for this process to be completed (totaling 44 days after the date the CUSTOMER’s insurance company releases the final payment(s).
iii) Late Payment: If CUSTOMER fails to pay the COMPANY promptly upon completion of the project, a late fee of 3% per month on the unpaid balance shall be assessed. Amount due promptly upon completion is the total project amount minus the CUSTOMER’s final insurance payment, which the CUSTOMER’s insurance company still needs to release once the project has been completed by the COMPANY. A $150 administrative fee will be added to the CUSTOMER’S contract amount if a return trip is required solely for the purpose of collecting payment after project completion.
b) Non-Insurance: The CUSTOMER agrees to pay the COMPANY on the following terms:
i) Initial Payment: The CUSTOMER will pay a 30% non-refundable deposit of the full payment amount listed on this contract by the CUSTOMER before project work will commence, for all custom siding and metal roof installations or any type of project over $20,000. Only 15% non refundable deposit required for non-custom roofing, siding, and less than $20,000 project installations.
ii) Final Payment: Due promptly upon completion of work.
iii) Late Payment: If CUSTOMER fails to pay the COMPANY promptly upon completion of the project, a late fee of 3% per month on the unpaid balance shall be assessed and a $150 will be added to the CUSTOMER’S contract amount as a return trip charge to collect payment.
iv) Distance Owners: In cases where property owners are not able to be at property during projection installation, a 50% deposit is required by the CUSTOMER before project installation will commence.
c) Non-Insurance/Insurance Projects: If the CUSTOMER chooses to pay the COMPANY by credit card, an additional 3% fee will be assessed on the total contract price.
d) Financing Payments: The CUSTOMER will sign the Project Deposit Payment Agreement document stating 30% of the full payment amount listed on this contract by the CUSTOMER will be paid if CUSTOMER cancels project or financing, for all custom siding and metal roof installations or any type of project over $20,000.
4) Limited Warranty:
a) The COMPANY guarantees their roof workmanship for three (3) years on 3Tab composition shingles; five (5) years on mid-grade architectural composition shingles; seven (7) years on premium architectural composition shingles installations.

Once such materials have been ordered by the COMPANY, the CUSTOMER shall be responsible for the full cost of those materials, regardless of whether the CUSTOMER later cancels or delays the project.
The CUSTOMER further acknowledges that manufacturing or shipping delays affecting custom or special-order materials are outside the COMPANY’S control.
