How to choose a Roofing Company
​
Roofers can sometimes be viewed as unsavory people. What are the best ways to find the right company to replace your roof? You need to be aware of these important factors to ensure that you make the right choice.
How long has the Roofing Company been around?
Many companies are just a few people who have a quick business idea. Many roofers decide to go into business after learning how to put up a roof. Most roofers don't last very long, as they have little business knowledge or experience. Before their business fails, some do more damage than good. It is important to ensure the company you choose has been around since years past and will continue to exist for years.
Request references
Do not be afraid to ask for references from roofs that they have applied. A roofing company that is worth its salt must have a complete list of satisfied customers and jobs they have completed. Here are some things you can ask your references:
Your roof was water-tight and properly applied?
Your roof was installed within a reasonable time frame?
Was everything properly cleaned up after completion?
​
Cheapest does not always mean the best
It is more likely that you will receive multiple estimates. Do not pay for an estimate. Most roofing companies will offer a free estimate. There might be a large price difference between the estimates once you have received several. The quality of the product should be more important than the price.
Your roof covers your home and protects it from rain, snow and sleet. Incorrectly installed roofs can lead to interior damage and costly repairs. Protecting your home is as important as getting the job done correctly the first time.
If you choose the cheapest roofing company, it usually means that you will get the lowest quality products and the worst installation. The best roofing materials are made by skilled tradesmen. As with many things, you get what your pay for.
Do not trust Roofing Companies That Want Money Upfront
A quality roofing company will never ask you to pay a downpayment on your roof. They've been in business for long enough to not require any down payments. There are many roofing scams available that will take your money, and run.
Ask your neighbors
Asking neighbors to help you find the right company is one of the best ways to locate them. It is likely that the homes in your community were built around the same period. This is more likely to mean that your roof's life expectancy will be the same. Your neighbors might have recently had new roofs. Ask around to see if anyone was satisfied with their new roof or the company that they used.
