Tips For Choosing The Right Roofer In Roseburg

Choosing the right roofer isn’t as easy as looking at quotes and picking the cheapest one. You want to spend at least an hour of your time after you get all your roofing quotes in to make sure to look at the details and options associated with the contractor quotes.

With some roofing companies you may be talking with a sales rep that may tell you what you want to hear and not be entirely accurate with what the company can or can’t do. With other companies you will be dealing with the business owner and someone that has the experience and integrity to tell you things you might not want to hear at the time, but that is exactly the type of information that you will need to know. Whoever you are speaking with should be knowledgeable about their products, materials and be excited about working on your home or business.

Always look at how long the roofing company has been in business and make sure you are dealing with a full time contractor. Without going into to many negatives, a part time contractor will be cheaper but you will pay for their lack of experience down the road.

The Difference Between Insured And Non-Insured Roofing Contractors

Ask to see the roofing contractors insurance certificate to make sure they carry general liability and workers compensation insurance. While an uninsured roofing contractors quote will be much less expensive, because their costs are considerably less, you might be responsible for hospital bills and other related injury expenses if a worker is injured on your property. Most uninsured roofers are either part time, a new company or a self employed roofing contractor without employees. These type of companies typically have no work guarantees if something happens down the road.

Ask For Referrals And Check The BBB

Ask for referrals. Ask for referrals and then ask for one more. What happened on the last job will probably happen to you as well. Was he on time? Did he get the job done in a timely manner? Did the job come in over-cost? Was he trustworthy? What were his workers like? Did you have a problem with your neighbors during construction because of the workers behavior? If there was a problem did he fix it?

You should also check with the BBB to see if there are any complaints against the roofing company and look at the roofing companies rating with the BBB. Make sure to take a look at the date of any complaints filed with the BBB. Recent complaints should be considered when looking at quotes while ones from 4 + years ago should probably not be a reason to dismiss a great price quote.

Other Questions To Ask Your Roofer

What are your workmanship guarantees? What are the length of your manufactures warranty? Will local building codes be observed? Do you cover permit costs or do I? Can you give me a good, better, best choices of materials to be used? When can you get this done? Will you state any stipulations in the contract? Are your workers all full time? How many part time roofers will be used on my home?
