Finding the right roofer is the one of the most vital steps in your re-roofing project. Your prospective contractor should meet certain qualifications and it’s your job to screen them.
Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC, one of the premier roofers in the area, shares four questions to ask your contractor before hiring them.
Obtaining the necessary permits for your roof replacement will be more challenging if you hire amateurs. Most states require roofers to be properly licensed and insured. This is to protect homeowners from “fly-by-night” contractors and their questionable roofing methods. To avoid unnecessary delays and hassles, work with a roofer that carries the right credentials.
Your roofer may say all the right things during the interview, but how can you tell if they’re really telling the truth? Ask them for references. People who have had prior engagements with your contractor can give you insight into their work ethic and quality of work. You should also check online reviews.
Training helps your roofing contractor develop their skills and gain more knowledge in their field. Ask your prospective roofer if they have attended vocational programs or factory training.
A reliable roofing contractor won’t ask for full payment upfront; instead, they will set reasonable terms. A down payment, for instance, may be necessary to get the project started if your contractor will supply the materials.
