Having the right roofing contractor is vital whether you are updating your entire roof or patching up a few curled shingles. Professional help is ultimately the key to the success of your project. However, if you find that your roofer has padded estimates or is showing up late to the job site, it may be time to fire your roofing contractor. Here are the warning signs that your roofer may need to be let go:
Additional Work
Let us say you hired a roofer to fix a specific problem. If they keep discovering more issues with other parts of your roof as the project progresses, it may be a sign that your roofer is taking you for a ride. There are times when additional work is needed, but you should decline it if you think that your roofer is simply trying to squeeze money out of you. Go over your contract with the contractor and clarify what work you will pay and will not pay for. If this method does not work, then you should find a new contractor.
Unprofessional Behavior
If you notice your contractor or their installation team behaving inappropriately or dangerously toward you and other residents of the house, then it is time to fire your roofer. Reliable local roofing companies should forbid the use of alcohol and drugs on the job site, need to show up on time and diligently follow OSHA guidelines. If your contractor cannot abide by these rules, then they should not be trusted to maintain your roof or complete any work.
Delays or Absences
For some, it is inconvenient enough to have a contractor inside their properties for several hours a day, hammering nails and carrying pieces of shingles to their roofs. What more if you have to deal with late arrivals or no-shows by the contractor? If your roofer makes a habit of showing up late, then it is definitely time to show them the door.
