Roofs are not completely free from wear and tear regardless of the material used in making them. The most common problems that roofs have are leaking and overactive moisture, billowing and blow offs, poor installation, lack of maintenance, excess water, penetrations after installation, a lack of safety, and even improper repairs by less than adequate roofers. Regardless of the actual problem, the right roofing business can make all the difference. Knowing how to judge subpar companies from excellent companies can mean all the difference in the quality of the roof and service and one’s pocket.
When looking for the right Roofing Company search for those with licenses, credentials, and insurance. If any business on the list that the prospective customer writes up does not fulfill these three tenets then cross it off the list. Quality companies will be licensed in their locality and state, if possible. They will possess experience in the industry and qualified workers who are certified and accredited. The Roofing Company must possess worker’s compensation insurance and general liability insurance in order to be seen as reputable and trustworthy. If a company does not have these types of insurance, any accidents or damage done on the homeowner’s property will be the homeowner’s responsibility.
After looking at a company’s licenses and insurance policies, call their references to ensure they are quality workers. These references can tell prospective customers all they need to know about the company including the workers’ behavior, adherence to schedule, and quality of repairs. If the business has good references, prospective clients should verify the testimonies with the Better Business Bureau and the Home Builders Association. Ask for job estimates from each company called. Customers find the best company when they compare prices. Choosing the cheapest service does not always guarantee the best repairs or workmanship.
Before choosing a company, ask if they will write out a manufacture warranty contract stating all prices and pieces needed for installation. If the company does not wish to, do not go with them. This contract protects homeowners against shoddy workmanship. Call Carroll & Sons Roofing today for a free quote on a new roof or even roofing repairs.
