Important Questions to Ask Your Roofer Before Hiring Them
Are you planning to replace your roof in the future? Before hiring a roofing contractor, you need to ask them certain questions. Mistakes made during your roof installation can worsen your new roof’s life span and performance. You need to make sure that you’re working with the best company for the job. Here are some of the things you should ask:
- Do You Provide a Warranty for Your Work? – Roof warranties are important because they protect you from manufacturing defects and installation mistakes. Typically, the roofing company covers the workmanship and the roofing manufacturer covers the materials. These are two different warranties, so ask the roofer about the warranties they offer and their coverages. As a certified contractor, Midwest Contractors can provide you with better warranties.
- Do You Have Insurance? – Your prospective roofing company needs to have insurance to protect you in the unexpected event that something happens during your roof installation project. You do not want to be liable if there is an accident on the job. A reputable roofing company will have adequate insurance for your protection. Make sure to double-check the information given to you by the contractor, and to contact their insurance company as well.
- Do You Have Local References? – References and testimonials are an effective way for you to determine the quality of a roofing company. By interviewing fellow homeowners, you will be able to learn about the contractor’s attitude, communication style, and adherence to schedule. In addition, you can visit the local reference’s home and see how well the roofing company’s work holds up after several years. We can provide you with plenty of local references if necessary.
