For written roofing warranty documents
Compare written roofing warranties side by side.
Trace two to four warranty-document sets by coverage, duration, remedies, conditions, transfer terms, exclusions, claim steps, and exact source location. The worksheet stays in this page's temporary memory; no document upload or account is required.
No-upload worksheet
Trace each warranty to its written source.
Use private labels A through D. Enter only what the controlling document states and record an exact page, section, or paragraph. Do not enter contractor names, property addresses, client names, claim numbers, contact details, or confidential information.
BidHound does not upload, submit, or save these entries. They remain in this page's temporary memory and clear when you reset or reload. Copying questions places only generic Warranty A–D questions on your device clipboard; it excludes your entries.

Source-first method
Keep the document separate from your interpretation.
- 01
Use private labels
Call the document sets Warranty A through D. Keep contractor names, addresses, clients, claim numbers, and contact details out of the worksheet.
- 02
Record only written terms
Choose Stated, Not stated, or Needs clarification. Copy a short controlling phrase without deciding what the document legally means.
- 03
Cite the exact location
Record the page, section, or paragraph for every stated entry so a reviewer can return to the source.
- 04
Resolve differences in writing
Use the generic question copy for each private label. Update the worksheet only after the controlling document changes.
Official consumer guidance
What the worksheet categories are based on
The Federal Trade Commission advises consumers to read written warranty length, coverage, remedies, maintenance or use conditions, and the claims process; keep the warranty and receipt; and get spoken promises in writing. Read the FTC warranty guidance →
The Indiana Attorney General's contractor guide says labor and material warranties should be in writing and recommends keeping contracts, change orders, warranties, and correspondence. Read the Indiana guide →
Official links and source wording checked September 26, 2026. The warranty documents in your possession remain the primary sources for each worksheet entry.
What this worksheet cannot determine
It does not interpret warranty law, decide whether coverage or eligibility exists, verify an issuer or contractor, compare brands globally, predict a claim result, rank warranties, or recommend a contractor.
A matching worksheet entry does not prove that the controlling documents have identical legal effect. A missing term remains unanswered rather than favorable or unfavorable.
Next, compare the rest of the written bid scope in the free roofing bid comparison tool.
After resolving the written differences, carry the findings into an approval memo.

Have an Indiana project question?
Read the fictional sample first. The prepared email asks for your city and state, residential asphalt-roof confirmation, bid count, role, main question, what decision the sample helps with, and what you would choose at $97. Completing the prompts may avoid a follow-up.
If you manage properties or association projects, also include approximately how many eligible roofing projects you compared in the past 90 days and when you may next need a comparison.
Do not send bids, attachments, street addresses, client names or payment information.
If the button does not open your email app, write support@trybidhound.com with the subject “Roof comparison inquiry”. Include the same project details above and no attachments or sensitive information.
No order, reservation, payment, document submission, delivery promise or subscription.
