A clearer read

The question is not “is this normal?”

It is “what, exactly, is different from the agreement I already have?” RafterSignal puts both documents side by side and gives every observation a place to look.

Scope, line by line

See added, removed, revised, and potentially overlapping work in plain language.

Money with context

Surface changed allowances, new fees, markups, taxes, and missing labor or material detail.

A better contractor conversation

Leave with practical questions about payment timing, schedule, warranties, and supporting detail.

The review path

From two files to a calmer next step.

No verdicts. No invented details. Just a structured read of what the documents say—and what they leave unclear.

01

Send the pair

Share the original agreement and the change order, revised invoice, or added-payment request.

02

Get the signal

Receive a comparison organized around scope, cost, allowances, timing, gaps, and page references.

03

Ask with clarity

Use the questions list to follow up with your contractor or a qualified professional.

Read the fine print

Useful context, not professional advice.

RafterSignal distinguishes verified document facts from possible discrepancies, missing information, and matters that may need professional review. It does not replace legal, construction, or financial advice.

Your report should make the next conversation more specific—not make the decision for you.

  • Document facts are labeled and referenced when possible.
  • Unclear wording stays clearly marked as unclear.
  • Jurisdiction-specific questions belong with qualified professionals.

Make the next charge easier to understand

Bring the paperwork. We’ll help you read the change.

RafterSignal is being shaped for homeowners who want a clearer conversation before approving the next renovation payment.
