Finding a Good Roofing Company

Finding a roofer that you can trust can be a very difficult process.  It is common knowledge that when a storm comes into the a region there is an influx of roofers from all over the country trying to price gouge hard working individuals.

These so called “storm chasers” do the job for twice the price and move on to the next city. This practice leaves many homeowners in a difficult situation when they later have problems with the roof.

The first key thing that you want to take into account when you are selecting a roofing company is that they based in your local area and that they will stand behind their work. Make sure that you always ask what kind of warranty they offer and if that warranty is at an additional cost to you. Most major product manufacturers warranty the materials, but only if they are properly installed, which leads to the second major concern.

When you are in the process of selecting a roofing company for your project always make sure that you check references or reviews for the company. You want to make sure that past customers have been happy with the workmanship and their overall experience with the company.

Third always ask how long your job is going to take. Many companies have vast sales departments and they simply get as many people under contract as they can. However once the customer is under contract with the company they take their time completing the job and the sales representative is no where to be found. The best way to remedy this problem is simple to get an estimate of when the job will be completed up front and in writing.

You may also want to discuss clean up. It doesn't sound as important as getting a roof on your home or business, but it is just as important. A nail in your tire, a neighbors or a patron of your business typically is not cause for celebration. Make sure that the clean up of your job is discussed before entering into the agreement.
