As roof replacement is a significant investment that needs careful preparation and planning, it’s important to get it right the first time because you’ll live with its results for many years. Apart from choosing quality materials, you need to hire a reliable roofing contractor for the job. To narrow down your list of prospective roofers, it helps to ask the following questions:
Do You Have Insurance?
Your roofing contractor should carry worker’s compensation and liability insurance to protect you from liabilities in case of accidents or property damage. Without these, you may be responsible for covering medical bills and other costs related to the injury. This can cause your budget to spin out of control. That said, be sure to ask for a copy of their insurance coverage and verify it with their insurance provider.
Can I Request a List of Your References?
Even if a roofing contractor has vast experience and prestigious certifications, only client satisfaction can measure their professionalism. Asking for their references will give you an idea of their industry experience. This also gives you the assurance that the contractor won’t leave you hanging. Apart from their references, you can also check with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to see how they deal with complaints.
Are You Licensed?
Having the necessary licensing is a good indicator that your contractor complies with the building codes and safety standards. Once you receive a copy of their license, check with your local licensing offices to make sure it’s still valid. You should also ask if your roofer has committed any violations before.
