Questions to Ask Potential Roofers

Before you sign contract with them, it’s important to get a few solid answers from your prospective roofer. Start with questions on general matters regarding their business. Then, you can ask specific questions about the materials, processes and schedule of the planned project. Doing so will help you determine if you can trust the contractor with your home.

These are the questions you need to ask.

How Long Have You Been in Business?

Only the good roofers thrive in this business for long. You want a roofer that has experience in the repair and installation of roofs like yours. Roofers should have a deep well of experience to draw from to give you tangible solutions for your roofing woes.

Can You Provide Me With References?

Call the references. Ask if the contractor stuck to the schedules. Some roofers schedule jobs for start dates they know they can’t meet to secure the work. Determine if the references recommend using the contractor. Some factors to consider in this area are the crew’s respect for your property and quote accuracy.

Are You Duly Licensed?

In most states, roofing contractors must have a license issued by a state agency. A license makes sure that the roofer knows about and adheres to building codes. It also ensures homeowners that the quality of work the roofer renders is up to par.

Does Your Company Have Insurance?

Roofing projects can take a while. Just like any job site, there are hazards that come with the territory. Make sure to cover yourself legally by inquiring about the company’s insurance. This will help you avoid legal liability should untoward accidents occur during your project’s completion.
