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 need to find someone soon to repair some shingles on my roof. I'll have to use your suggestion about finding some companies to get estimates from. It's a good idea to actually do your research and not just choose whoever you find near you, like you mentioned.
