Your Roofing Contract and You: Defining a Strong Contract

A roofing repair or replacement project is a massive undertaking, which is why you should take great care when it comes to hiring a contractor and signing a contract. For the average homeowner, negotiating a contract with a contractor can be a confusing and stressful process. In today’s post, Earl W. Johnston Roofing, LLC discusses how to draft a strong contract with your contractor.

Contract and Warranty

While you might be tempted to focus primarily on the price and the experience of the contractor, you also need to take into the warranty. As a residential roofing contractor, we will provide you a lifetime warranty for the work we’ve done. Many things can happen after the day your roof gets repaired or replaced. A contract with a strong warranty protects your investment.

Look at The Materials

The contract for your roofing project should detail the types of materials the contractor will be using. This is another thing you should scrutinize. We recommend you do a bit of research on roofing materials before making your decision. As a GAF Master Elite® company, we use the highest-quality materials in the roofing industry, so you can be sure that you’re getting a durable and high-performing roof.

Check the Scope of Work

A detail that passes under the nose of many homeowners is the scope of work of the contractor. Before you agree to a start date, check first what kind of roofing work they do. For example, do they specialize in commercial roofing or can they also handle residential projects? Do they specialize in concrete roofing, shingle roofing, or another type?

Defining a strong contract between you and your contractor is as simple as doing a bit of research and asking the right questions. Count on Earl W.
