Homeowner's porch roof is leaking from seams, and the contractor needs verification that their proposed roofing assembly (fan fold + TPO/PVC with edge metals) will work without issues.

No dedicated platform for roofing contractors to get quick, authoritative validation of specific roof assembly designs before installation, leading to reliance on forum advice and potential costly mistakes.
