Tips to Consider Before Hiring a Roofing Contractor

by | May 2, 2018 | Roofing

If you are looking for roof replacement you will need to hire a roofing contractor at some point. When you start your search, you will realize that there are many roofing contractors out there, so how do you know that you have found a reliable expert? Here are a few questions to consider to help you find the right roofing contractor for you.

Were they referred to you? When looking for a roofing contractor, after you have decided on roof replacement, getting referrals can help you narrow down which company you want to work with. If you find a company with great referrals, especially local referrals, you are less likely to run into an unreliable business.

Do they have manufacturer designations? If the company you are looking at has a manufacturer designation, this is a good sign, as they have met requirements to be factory-certified.

What kind of warranties do they provide? If the company that you are looking at does not offer warranties, start looking elsewhere. No company should be so confident in their work and products that they believe nothing will ever go wrong. These warranties guarantee that if there are any problems, they will be fixed by your contractor.

What about safety? Does the contractor offer liability insurance and workman’s compensation? These two things can help to protect you from anything that happens during the re-roofing of your home. If damage is done to your property, the contractor will have to fix it at no cost to you. If there is an accident, like an employee falling off the roof, this will not fall back on you if your contractor provides workman’s compensation. Make sure to get copies of their insurance certificates to help ensure that you are insured.

Do they provide a free estimate? Every good roofing contractor will provide a free estimate of your home. While you are looking around, you should get a few estimates so that you can compare. If you find contractor who fits your budget and time frame, you can go back and set up a secondary meeting to talk about the project. Make sure to get prices down in writing so that both you and the contractor have agreed on a price and put it into the contract.
