// THE QUOTE
“we're in a cold climate here so we typically would have a vapor barrier then some insulation”

Plain-language explainer of recap vs full replacement via thermal scan — the infrared 'bull's-eye' finds wet, you pull 5-10% and leave 90% warrantable. Teaches a real, usable concept end to end.

THE LESSON THIS CLIP CARRIES
Do a thermal (IR) scan before speccing any roof replacement — pinpointing wet sections lets you recap only the damaged 10-20% and save the building owner substantial cost and material.
“if you're proactive enough it might just be 5 10 to a building owner if you can leave 90 of your roof up there”
