Whether it was a choice to re-shingle and update your home or a hail-based mandate from above, you want to hire a good contractor. It really should go without saying, but all too often homeowners will hire the first Tom, Dick, or Harry to show up on their doorstep. Unfortunately, this leads to unhappy circumstances and poor workmanship. Instead of hiring without knowing, ask questions in these four areas to determine if this is the contractor for you:
Customer Service - If you don't get this from the get go then they are not the right contractor for you. Expect to be treated as an equal. Expect returned phone calls. Expect the best.
Free Estimates - You shouldn't have to pay for something that will give a contractor business. If he wants the job he will come to you, do the measurements, ask the questions and give you a free and competitive estimate. It's okay to get several estimates from different companies to select the best contractor for you.
Landscaping -Your contractor should be working on the roof, not the azaleas. When he comes to do the estimate watch how he maneuvers around your landscaping. If he doesn't seem to care, then don't expect much to be intact after a new roof is in place.
Insurance - A good contractor should not only be willing to give paperwork to insurance adjusters, but they should be willing to do a walk around with them. A contractor can make sure the adjuster isn't missing anything. A roofer not willing to take the time to work with your adjuster is not worth having.
Out of State - high pressure contractors are a dime a dozen. They will flood your neighborhood and promise amazing deals. Don't fall for it. Research your local options. The internet can aid in this, as well as referrals from friends and family. A smart decision, not a hasty one, is the one that will reward you in the end. - 16492
