Key Questions to Ask Your Prospective Roofing Contractor

Hiring a reputable contractor is vital, whether you need a gutter repair or a new roof. You want to work with professionals who can do the job right the first time. Since your roof protects your home against the elements and keeps your family comfortable, it’s important to leave its needs to experienced hands.  

Here are questions that will help you assess your potential roofer. 

Are You Licensed and Insured?

Only hire home improvement companies with proper licensing and insurance. Many states require contractors to have licenses to run their businesses. If you hire a roofer with insurance, you can avoid being held liable for possible injuries or property damage during your project.

Where Is the Location of Your Office?

It pays to invest in a local contractor for your roof replacement project. Pros know the local codes in your area and which permits to obtain. Ask your prospective roofer about the location of the office and if the company has a local phone number. Doing so will let you know where to go and which number to call if something happens during or after your project. 

What Warranties Come With Your Products and Services?

Warranties offer protection against product defects and installation mistakes. Their length, inclusions and exclusions vary by manufacturer and contractor. The warranties your contractors offer say a lot about how much they value their clients and how confident they are about their skills. 

Can You Provide a Written Estimate?

Estimates will give you an idea of how much your new roof will cost. A reputable contractor won’t have any issue providing you with a detailed quote for your project. However, your hiring decision shouldn’t only be based on which company offers the lowest price. Consider your potential roofers’ experience, the products they offer and their certifications.
