Getting to Know Your Roofer: 3 Important Questions to Ask

Your roofing system is one of your biggest investments, which is why you shouldn’t entrust their repair, installation or maintenance to a random contractor. Being picky about your choice of roofer is not only understandable, but also encouraged. After all, it will be your time and money that will be spent. Luckily, you’ll be able to weed out the questionable ones by asking them a few choice questions. Check out some of them here: 

1. Do you have the necessary qualifications? First things first – make sure that your choice of roofing contractor is fully licensed, bonded and insured. Ask the potential contractors if they also carry significant liability coverage and workers’ compensation. Their credentials go a long way in ensuring your protection, so don’t just ask-have them show you proof of their qualifications as well. If you choose to work with Renovation Team, we’ll be more than happy to show you proof of our credentials. 

2. What roofing manufacturers do you represent? You deserve exceptional roofing products and workmanship, and hiring a roof contractor that’s manufacturer certified allows you to have those. Renovation Team, for instance, has earned distinction from three industry-leading brands: GAF, Owens Corning® and CertainTeed®. This allows you access to some of the highest quality shingle roofing systems and products available today. Aside from the increased curb appeal and reliable weather performance they offer, you’ll also benefit from the extensive roof warranties included with them.

3. Can you provide a list of references? A roofer can talk all day about how good they are, but what exactly are their previous clients saying? Don’t forget to ask your contractor for a list of references. Make sure the list is updated with their most recent jobs. This way, you’ll be able to determine the consistency of their service and workmanship. Renovation Team is ready and available to provide you with an updated list of references.
