A Guide To Choosing The Right Roofing Contractor

By Scott Graham


If you are in need of installing new roofing materials after a storm hits your place, then you would need someone to install that for you. You can install it on your own, however, it is best to leave it to the experts. Picking the right roofer is both challenging and confusing at the same time. To help you choose the right roofing Greeley company, here is a guide for you to follow.

Choose a local contractor. The company you choose should be local. Meaning, they should be operating locally and has established reputation within the community. Many customers have experienced having troubles with their roofer due to not being able to get their five year warranty period due to the company moving to another area, the business closed, or it just simply vanished.

Also, many contractors are not even certified, have low installation quality, and has poor quality of work. In terms of start up businesses, these businesses usually closed down after three years, and may already be out of service once a problem of your roof would arise. Here are tips on how you should choose a roofing contractor.

Insurance is a must have. Make sure that the contractor you are thinking about hiring has a compensation insurance and a liability insurance. Take a look at their certificates. To confirm if the insurance provided to you is valid, simply call the carrier and confirm to them. Knowing that the service provided is protected will put you at ease.

You should not choose by how much they charge. There are many companies out there that provides roofing services for a very low price. However, you will realize in the long run that instead of saving a few buck from it, you will end up paying more due to the many problems it will give you after a while.

Do they make use of subcontractors. A subcontractor is usually paid based on per job, which often results to poor workmanship because they would do the job as fast as they can. Try to avoid this. Having a number of contractors given by the company you select is already enough.

Avoid a storm chaser. A storm chaser is someone who knocks on your door and will identify themselves as a roofer. These people will either sell items or are just canvassing. The majority of them will say that your roof have a damage due to the storm and will have you sign an intent letter. Do not give in to their forceful tactics and never sign it.

See if that certain firm is a Chamber of Commerce and Better Business Bureau member. You may find roofers on the website of the COC and the BBB. The COC and BBB will only list down those who have good reputation on their list. Check their business rating there, and make sure to keep in mind the firm size when you check complaints about them.

Have them put job details in writing. In terms of the payment, only pay them have of the price and give the rest once the work is completed. You and the contractor should both agree how much is price is, and both of you must adhere to it. Ask if how long will the job take, the number of crews that will work on it, and its completion date.
