This should only take a moment
Contractors lose tens of thousands of dollars—sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars—because they can't prove temperature compliance at time of installation. Digital Foreman automatically documents weather conditions so you can reduce warranty claim denials and keep defensible records.
Two contractors. Two warranty voids. One missing piece: proof of temperature compliance.
Asphalt shingles
The incident: A roofing contractor installed premium shingles on a major re-roof project. Six months later, premature wear appeared. The manufacturer denied the warranty claim because the contractor couldn't prove temperature compliance. He re-roofed at his own expense.
Temperature: Estimated 38-42°F (below 40°F minimum)
Manufacturer: Major shingle manufacturer
Lesson: No timestamped weather documentation = no warranty protection
Modified bitumen
The incident: A commercial roofing crew installed a large commercial roof at 34°F (below the 40°F minimum). The adhesive didn't cure properly. Within 8 months, leaks developed. The manufacturer voided the warranty, and the contractor had to replace the entire roof.
Temperature: 34°F (6°F below minimum)
Manufacturer: Modified bitumen spec
Lesson: Installing outside manufacturer temp range voids warranty—even if you didn't know

Digital Foreman automatically documents weather conditions and enforces manufacturer requirements. You'll never void another warranty due to undocumented conditions.
Court-admissible weather documentation from National Weather Service. 15-minute weather updates ensure accuracy.
Every field report and safety incident automatically includes timestamped weather snapshot. Can't be modified after the fact.
System knows temperature requirements for asphalt, modified bitumen, TPO, concrete, paint, and more. Automatic alerts when conditions void warranty.
Weather documentation retained for 11 years (Minnesota statute of repose). Defend warranty claims years after installation.
Digital Foreman alerts your crew when temperature conditions could violate manufacturer specifications, helping avoid starting work that could void a warranty.
