﻿3 TIPS BEFORE YOUR HIRE A ROOF CONTRACTOR

3 TIPS BEFORE YOUR HIRE A ROOF CONTRACTOR

4/6/2017

Get a Few Estimates
Getting at least three different estimates will help you make sure that you find the best price and company. Don't just choose from the first few roofing contractors that show up on an Internet search.
Also get recommendations from friends and family. Chances are they will be honest with their information.

Know What Your Roofing Contractor is Looking For
Your roofer will inspect the roof before providing an estimate, but you should know what they will be looking for to get a good idea of what to expect in the estimate.
Factors like: roof pitch and size, whether or not layers of shingles need removal and damage spots will all factor into the final cost of a roof.

Consider a Call to Roofing Suppliers
Part of the contractor's estimate will involve the cost of roofing materials. However, many contractors will include a markup.
By calling the suppliers to determine how much materials actually cost it will help you figure out if the markup is reasonable.

My favorite part of this article is when you say to get estimates from at least three different roof repair companies because this way I can compare their prices with their customer reviews and quality of service. Last week there was a hail storm in my area that caused significant damage to some of the shingles on my roof. I want to hire a quality roofer so that this repair will be long lasting, so I will look at reviews from previous customers to see if they were satisfied with their roof repair.

I like your comment about making sure that you get at least three estimates from different roofing companies so that you can really get a feel for what the price should be. I am thinking about replacing my roof with something other than the shingles that it has since they seem kind of unreliable. I will be sure to look into what would be needed to do that so that I can get the best deal for the service.

I like how the article explains that you should get at least 3 estimates from different companies to be able to determine the best price to get your roof done. My husband and I are needing to get a new roof as ours is damaged but we don't have a lot of money to spend on getting a new one so we want to find the best deal. We will make sure to get estimates from different companies to find the best price.

My father recently told me that his roof has some leakage and that it might need to be repaired or replaced.

My godfather needs to hire a roofing contractor to replace his garage's roof. I liked how you advised getting estimates from multiple companies to compare prices. With that set, I'll reach out to some local companies until finding one that can fit his budget.
