We don’t typically think much about the roof over our head, until that roof has a problem or needs to be replaced. That is also when we start looking for a residential roofing contractor for help, but with all the roofing companies and contractors today, how do you find a quality roofing contractor? That is also the topic and question the attached video explores. The good news is that there are steps and tips that can help people weed through the less-than-reputable or questionable roofing contractors that are out there.
If you are looking for a roofing contractor for your home or business, here are a few things you should know and will want to look for before signing a contract.
1. Credentials. You only want to work with contractors that are licensed and insured. Namely, that insurance should include liability and workers’ compensation, and these are non-negotiable credentials when choosing a roofing contractor for your job.
2. Warranty Considerations. Always ask about warranty limits, and in particular, you want to know about the contractor’s workmanship warranty. Additionally, working with a contractor that is accredited and approved by your roofing manufacturer can also help ensure that you and your roof are covered if there is a problem later on.
3. References and Recent Work. Does your contractor have examples of recent work and references? These will not only help you understand who you are working with, but what to expect as well.
Congratulations on your new roof and stay dry in there.
