How To Find A Reputable Roofing Contractor

Allstate Exteriors • Oct 05, 2020

As a homeowner, installing a new roof is perhaps the most important and costly home improvement project you’ll ever encounter. The roof is the first line of defense against the elements. Whether you’re looking for a quick repair or a full replacement, you’ll want to hire a reputable roofing contractor who can get the job done correctly. Here are a few tips to help you choose the best roofing contractor.

1. Insurance is a Must

A reputable roofing company will carry worker’s compensation and liability insurance. Before making a commitment, demand to see the certificates and call the insurance carrier to confirm if they are valid. It’s a great way to keep all bids on a level playing ground, knowing part of the roof replacement or repair cost is protected with the security of coverage.

2. Choose a Local Roofing Contractor

Ensure the roofing company you choose is local. The contractor should have established a business reputation with the local community. Many homeowners have run into problems when the company they chose to install their roof closed, moved, or simply vanished. Regardless of the warranty duration you receive, it’s only as good as the longevity and reputation of the roofing contractor.

3. Price isn’t Everything

Avoid choosing roofing contractors based on price alone. If you get sold on price alone, you will ultimately end up spending more money to fix problems down the line. Such costs would have been covered under a workmanship warranty offered by reputable roofers.

4. Communication is Paramount

Work with a roofing contractor who swiftly returns calls and send any documentation you ask for. Communication is key to every home improvement business, so be sure to work with a roofer who communicates promptly and effectively. More importantly, a reputable roofer helps out the community in several ways. They understand the local community and will put money back into the community by hiring a local workforce and shopping in local stores. By calling your prospective roofer, you can learn a lot about their communication style. If your roof is aged, outdated or simply in need of repair, you need a professional roofer who can take care of it swiftly and correctly.
