When its time to repair your roof you'll want to find a professional contractor that you can trust. A contractor who will provide you with sound advice on products, a reasonable explanation on procedures and most importantly?..solid results.
1. Where to Begin
Referrals are obviously your best source. Ask friends and neighbors who they have used. Also, check with the Better Business Bureau and local trade associations. Check to see if your contractor is listed in the Yellow Pages?this can help you avoid Fly-by-Nite companies.
2. Evaluating Contractors
- Choose a contractor who is happy to provide you with any information that you may require. Many homeowners are mystified by the seemingly lack of interest and response from the contractors they call. Set up a meeting to discuss your needs and their qualifications, and be sure to pay close attention to the attitude of the company representative. Good contractors take pride in their work and will be enthusiastic about the possibility of helping you with your roofing problems.
- The training and experience of a contractor will help you determine their ability to successfully complete your roofing project.
- A professional contractor should always carry insurance coverage. Request a copy of their insurance coverage for your review. Beware of low bids which are a result of un-insured roofing companies.
- Your contractors past can determine your future. Ask for a list of completed projects including names and addresses.
3. Utilizing the Contractors Knowledge
Your contractor should have up-to-date knowledge on all of the products available to you. Ask questions about different shingles such as brand names, life span, thickness and available colors. Selecting the best product is as important to your job as selecting the right contractor.
4. Understanding the Contract
All items to be accomplished should be written as part of your contract. Beware of verbal promises. Ask about a start and completion date, as well as, a plan of action in case of inclimate weather. Ask about expected work hours and clean-up procedures. And lastly, have a good understanding of the payment method and terms.
5. Sit back and Relax
