Essential Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Roofer

Having problems with your roof? If the shingles are falling off and you’re dealing wtih constant leaks, then you are in need of a quick roof replacement project.

However, not every roofer is made equal. Ensure you’re dealing with a dependable roofing contractor by asking the following questions:

Do You Operate Locally?

Never work with a roofing company that works out of a truck. If you face problems with your roof when they’re done with it, it will be extremely difficult to find them and hold them accountable. A professional contractor that has a permanent place of business shows that the company is dependable.

Are You Licensed, Bonded and Insured?

Find a duly licensed, bonded and insured company to protect your investment. A license proves that the company has the technical know-how to accomplish the job in a satisfactory manner. The insurance will protect the homeowner from damage or injuries to workers. And the bond protects the financial investment of the consumer. Ask for a copy of their state roofing license and insurance certificate.

Can You Provide Us With a Warranty?

A warranty will ensure you’re not left out in the cold if your roof shows signs of premature damage or malfunction. Never skimp on this. Ask your roofing contractor about it and study your contract to be sure that it includes the agreed-upon warranty.

Do You Have References?

Always ask for a list of references before allowing anyone to touch your roof. Cross-check these references to make sure customers are happy with the job. Ask those customers if they encountered any problems and how the contractor resolved them.
