Important Questions For Your Roofing Contractor
Important Questions For Your Roofing Contractor
When you need your asphalt shingle roof replaced due to hail damage or any other reason, you will get the best results by using an experienced local roofing contractor. Quality of the workmanship matters a lot when it comes to installation of an asphalt shingle roof so make sure your contractor uses top quality roofing techniques and stands behind their work. Since any guarantee is only as good as your contractor, you want one with a permanent presence in the community and a reputation for solid roofing work.
Get bids from several contractors and take the time to ask them a few questions. First, ask how long they have been in business and whether they have a permanent local address and telephone number. Look to see if their telephone number and license number is painted on the side of their truck. You are looking for some indication that they have been in business for a while and intend to be in business for the foreseeable future. There are a lot of roofers out there and if they were doing shoddy work, they would probably be out of business before long.
Next, ask for a few references from satisfied customers and follow up with a call to verify that the person was satisfied with the contractor’s work. Any good roofer should be happy to provide the contact information for a few happy customers.
You should also ask to see a copy of their business license and proof of worker’s compensation insurance and liability insurance. Contractors working without insurance are putting you at risk in the event of an accident.
