In practice, a proper Crocker-Amazon inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long in advance of the covering does. Core samples settle the argument on a Crocker-Amazon low-slope roof covering when water is suspected but not visible. Drone access on steep or fragile Crocker-Amazon roof coverings gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it.
The variable line on any Crocker-Amazon written price is deck repair, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. Realistically, a Crocker-Amazon roof quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a quote based on half the information. Cheap Crocker-Amazon quotes usually skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives.
