Every home needs a quality roof, so when it’s time for a replacement or some repairs to be done, make sure you have only the best handling the job. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landmark Exteriors has been helping homeowners care for their roofing systems for more than two decades. When hiring a roofing contractor, these are the important questions to ask: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What type of roofing do you do?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not every residential roofing company can install and repair all roofing materials. There are plenty of popular roofing materials that homeowners opt for, including asphalt shingles, cedar, slate, metal, and more that all require their own expertise to work with. Make sure the company you’re contracting is an expert in your desired roofing material.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have references from previous jobs?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It’s important to hire roofers with experience and reputable references. Be sure to ask for some information and photos of previous jobs they’ve worked on. A reliable roofer will have a list of people they’ve worked with to use as a reference. If you do reach out to any of those references, be sure to ask if there were any problems while working with the roofers and, if so, what they did to resolve the issue.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have insurance and the appropriate licensing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your roofing contractor should have insurance that will cover any damages to your home in case of a problem, so don’t be afraid to ask to see the documentation for yourself. As well, they should have all the appropriate licensing on state, city, and county levels that ensure they are meeting every qualification. You can double-check with your local licensing office that their license is up to date and there are no outstanding violations.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you offer a warranty?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ask what their warranty policy is and what exactly will be covered. Most warranties last a year, but others will last even longer. Be sure also to see if an extended warranty will raise the cost of the overall job.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you use subcontractors at all?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If the roofers outsource work to other subcontractors, it’s best to know this ahead of time and make sure they are also experienced, licensed, and have insurance. They should also be able to tell you the name and address of these subcontractors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
