Finding the best Roofer for your job shouldn’t be a difficult or stressful task. There are lots of Roofing services out there and we recommend finding a few and comparing services. This list will help you narrow down your final selections.
Do they have insurance? This is an essential consideration before proceeding. We recommend only using a trades person that has insurance. They should be happy to share this information with you.
Have you seen their previous jobs/outcomes including recommendations and reviews from real people? With the availability to look online you can quickly find out and also check carefully that the reviews are from people who exist. This is easy to double check on Facebook by clicking on the profile of the person who made the review. Some signs of a fake account are if they are a new account, don’t have real photos or aren’t local to the area.
Do they jump on your roof and have a detailed inspection to quote or just online? While an online quote can be done as an estimate, you want to work with someone who actually gets up on your roof and does a thorough quote. This ensures everyone is on the same page when it comes to the work required and the actual costs.
Do they clean up properly after completion of work? Something that is often forgotten, but worth asking at the start of the project, is clean up included? You’ll be thankful once you have your new project completed along with no mess left laying around.
Are they open about what materials they use and discuss why they work well? It is important to discuss materials, as quality materials will make a huge difference in the lifespan and durability of your final project. A cheaper price may be tempting, but if it means budget materials that cause further issues, it isn’t worth the risk! Your roofer should know exactly what materials and brands they will be using and be able to tell you why they use and recommend these.
