The purpose of O&P is for the GC (NOT a roofer) to coordinate trades.


unless your roofer, like me, is also a GC. His roofer making him be the one to call and talk to the insurance tells me that he probably doesn't know what he's doing. But also that he probably doesn't want to waste his time doing it since he's not going to get the other work. I'd fight for it because I could also fix the window, deck, and HVAC damage.

Not true. A trade is a trade. You're getting that O&P for coordinating the other jobs, it doesn't matter if that painting or carpentry (or any trade for that matter) is interior or exterior.

Do you make interior repairs before you replace the roof? Do you send the flooring guy to install new wood floors and the painter to re-paint before the drywall guys tear out walls and insulation? Do you have the cabinets removed before you remove the plumbing and the appliances? Next thing you are going to tell me is that GC's never have their own employees capable of performing multiple trades because painters can't figure out how to remove light fixtures, switch plates or A/C registers. Let's not act like exterior repairs require that level of coordination.
