Roofing change order, written while the roof is open.
Tear-off is when the estimate meets the real roof: a second layer nobody could see, decking that gives under your boots, fascia that crumbles when the drip edge comes off. The homeowner usually says yes over the phone. This form gets that yes on paper the same day.

What this template covers
- Extra layers priced per square, the same unit as the estimate, so the math matches
- Decking past the allowance per sheet, with the allowance named so it's clear what was already included
- Fascia and trim by the linear foot
- An owner decision made on the roof (the skylight) with its credit on the next line
- The phone approval written down with a time, since you can't leave a roof open waiting for a signature
Doing it in Redline
From the roof, send the chat two photos and one line: "Lopez has a second layer, 22 squares at $35, and 9 more sheets past the allowance at $95." It builds the added lines as a quote on her file. Call her with one tap from her contact, then say "log a call with Maria Lopez, approved second layer and 9 sheets" so the approval is on her activity with the date. That's all on the Free plan.
She can't sign inside Redline, so get this form signed when you're down. Update the job value by chat, and the final invoice, with the change in its total, goes out as a card pay link (Solo, $29 a month). If it rains, "push the Lopez job to Thursday" moves the visit. The roofing invoice template shows how the decking line lands on the final bill.
Price the surprise before you climb down.
Redline is free to start. Photo plus one line, and the change is on her file.
