EASY TIPS ON HOW TO FIND THE BEST LOCAL ROOFING COMPANY NOW

Roofing companies are everywhere, but how do you go about finding the best one for your roofing needs?

There are some simple ways to "drain the swamp" so to speak and find your ideal roofer but first you need to educate yourself about a few key factors so let's dig in!

Price
Yes, we all like a deal, but if a cheap price becomes your #1 motivation, you will likely not get the peace of mind that a highly qualified installation team can give you using the highest quality roofing products.  I am not saying you have to pick the highest priced company, but be aware that in roofing like everywhere else in life, you generally get what you pay for.

Can I add to this that leaks are the #1 problem my team and I see that happens with cheap (poor) roofing work. These flaws can show up shortly or even after a few years, but a great roof should last at least 15 years, so, money saved off the top can easily get spent unnecessarily later on.  Not good and definitely not cheap.

References
The same way you wouldn't hire an employee without some references, please do not go spend your hard earned cash on a roofing company that you have not taken the time to check their references.

This is easily done these days online.  Check out Google Reviews, Facebook Reviews, Homestars Reviews, etc.  This will give you a great idea of who you are dealing with.

Also, if you're friendly with your neighbours and they have had a good roofer experience, by all means, get on that and contact those local roofers to see if they may be a good fit for you.

Red Flags
If you have scheduled an appointment for a roofing estimate and they don't call you back promptly, or miss an appointment, please do not make the mistake of believing that this bad situation will turn out better once you have signed a contract.  It won't.

Get More Than A Single Quote
Educating yourself means that you need to invest a bit of time in seeing more than one contractor so that you can compare notes and quotes.

Smart Questions that You Need to Ask
Before you hire a roofing contractor, you need to do some due diligence to get a picture of what services you are purchasing and what the company will be doing on-site. I have provided a comprehensive list to help so that you get the best crew and the best bang for your buck:

• How long will the job take to complete?
• Who will do the work, a subcontractor or the roofing contractor’s crew?
• Who will supervise the worksite?
• How will you protect the grounds around the worksite?
• What type of shingles or membranes do you use?
• Is the debris disposal included in your quote?
• What warranties are included for the work done?
• Do we need to do anything before the job starts or after it is done, or are you offering turnkey service?
• Are you licensed and insured?
• How long have you been in business with this business name and license number?
