Choosing a roofing company can be a difficult task. After all, your roof is the first line of defense between your family and the elements. You need to find a highly-qualified company that you can trust.
The first thing you should do is come up with a list of roofing companies in your area. Referrals are a good place to start – ask friends, neighbors, and family members about companies they have used in the past. You can also contact your local Chamber of Commerce about roofers in your city. The Better Business Bureau and local yellow pages are also good places to look.
After you have come up with a list, begin to contact the roofing companies. Set up a meeting to discuss your roofing needs and the company’s qualifications. There are several things that you should ask for during this meeting.
First, get the roofing company’s business name and address. A reputable company will be glad to give you this information.
Ask about the contractor’s experience, as well as how long they have been in business. This will be invaluable in determining the company’s ability to complete your roofing project.
Make sure that the contractor is licensed and bonded. If sub-contractors are employed, make sure they are also bondable.
It is important that your roofer is up-to-date on the newest materials and roofing techniques. Ask questions about different material, brands, design, life span, and warranties.
After you decide on a roofing company, make sure that you get all guarantees, warranties, and promises in writing. Determine the start and completion dates for the project. You also need to determine which building permits are necessary, and if the contractor will obtain them for you.
