Topics: timing, permits, the cool roof rule, materials for heat and fire, and published prices. Each guide reads the roof the way we do, as a stack: framing, deck, waterproof layers, flashing, then the covering you see. Start with timing if a tear-off is near, since the deck sits open to the sky while the old layers come off.
