Imperial Roofing and Construction was built on a simple principle: 100% transparency, no hidden fees. That commitment starts with communication — and communication breaks down the moment a homeowner doesn’t understand the terms on their estimate. This glossary bridges that gap. Whether you’re reviewing a residential proposal, trying to understand your storm damage claim, or comparing bids on a commercial project, every definition here is written to give you a genuine advantage in that conversation.
Imperial isn’t a roofing-only operation. Our team handles general contracting, home exteriors, multi-family projects, and full construction scopes — and the terminology reflects that. This glossary helps you navigate:
the full range of terms that appear across both property types, regardless of scope or complexity.
the exact terms adjusters use and what they mean for your claim.
siding, windows, painting, fencing, patios, and decking.
from project proposals to final inspections, the language that shapes what gets built and what gets paid.
