Tips for Choosing a Roofing Contractor

You as the homeowner may be held liable if the contractor is underinsured. No license means that no inspections are performed.

You always want a local contractor to avoid scammers who follow storms and so you can easily check references, insurance and more.

If someone won’t put it in writing beforehand, then you have no contracted price, meaning you could see major sticker shock when all is said and done. You need a contract that is legally binding to hold the contractor accountable.

Avoid roofing companies who want everything paid up front. Industry standard practices include an initial deposit with balance due upon completion.

Certified contractors typically offer better warranties and follow stricter procedures. Improper installations from others can void warranties.

A contractor who offers emergency services often has quick access to materials, operates outside of traditional business hours, and is likely to honor workmanship warranties and be around in the future.
