Jake lost $45K. Tom lost $247K. Both because they couldn't prove temperature compliance at time of installation. Digital Foreman automatically documents weather conditions so you never lose a warranty claim again.
Two contractors. Two warranty voids. One missing piece: proof of temperature compliance.
Asphalt shingles
The incident: Jake installed premium shingles on a $120K re-roof. Six months later, premature wear appeared. Manufacturer denied warranty—Jake couldn't prove temperature compliance. He re-roofed at his own expense.
Temperature: Estimated 38-42°F (below 40°F minimum)
Manufacturer: CertainTeed
Lesson: No timestamped weather documentation = no warranty protection
Modified bitumen
The incident: Tom's crew installed a $280K commercial roof at 34°F (below 40°F minimum). Adhesive didn't cure. Within 8 months, leaks developed. Manufacturer voided warranty. Tom replaced 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 cache freshness ensures 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.
System prevents work from starting when temperature violates manufacturer specs. Your crew can't accidentally void a warranty.
