  • How to Choose a Roof & Roofing Contractor

    • Here are eight industry guidelines to help you select the right Roofing Contractor to work on your home:
    1. Look for experience and a proven track record.
    • * How long has the company been in business? Have they always been in business with the same name? Does the company have a street address (and an office), not just a post office box? How long have they been in business at their current location?
    • * Ask for references and check them. You might also check into other sources of information - like the Better Business Bureau or the local Chamber of Commerce.
    2. Evaluate their Business Practices.
    • * What is your first impression of the company? Do their representatives portray a professional image?
    • * What do their references have to say about the company?
    3. Insist on a comprehensive level of knowledge about the products available as well as the entire installation process.
    • * Did they do a comprehensive analysis of your roof and actually inspect every portion of the roof (some companies only look at a "sampling" and use that to calculate their bid)
    4. Verify their insurance coverage, safety policies and licensing procedures.
    • * Worker's Compensation Coverage - protects you in case a worker is injured while performing work on your property.
    • * General Liability Insurance - protects your property while work is in progress.
    • * Completed Operations Insurance - a rider on a general liability policy that covers many problems that might occur after a job is complete.
    5. Confirm the level of project supervision you can expect. Find a contractor that utilizes an additional level of supervision to oversee the foreman and crew.

    6. Beware of extremely low bids.

    • * Minimal or no insurance coverage.
    • * Poor, unsupervised workmanship.
    • * Low grade materials.
    • * Not replacing current flashings.
    • * Leaving you uninformed about problems that should be addressed.
    • * Inadequate ventilation proposed.
    7. Ask for a detailed, written contract.
    • * Be sure all materials and work are specified.
    • * Be sure the price is specified and firm, and that sales tax is included.
    8. Ask if they require any payments before the job is satisfactorily completed.
    • Payments prior to completion are generally not required for roof replacements. An exception may be required if non-standard materials are specified.
