Picking a roofing company can be a hassle, but it doesn\u2019t need to be. Knowing exactly what to ask and look for can make this process much easier and help ensure that you\u2019re getting the best work done possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the most important questions to ask a roofing contractor before you hire them:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are you a licensed roofing contractor?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Codes and licensing requirements vary from state to state. It\u2019s good to ask and be certain that your roofers are licensed, their license is up to date, and they abide by all codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you carry general liability insurance?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Workman\u2019s compensation insurance covers the employees while working on your roof. However, you still have to worry about potential damage to any part of your property that can occur during the installation. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask them to verify that the roofing company has general liability insurance that will pay for repairs if part of your property is damaged in any way during the work process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How will you protect my home\u2019s exterior driveway and gutters from damage?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A lot of equipment, tools, and people are required when redoing a roof. On top of insurance, you can ask what exact measures the workers will take while working to protect your gutters, driveway, and house from damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will you remove my old roof?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, roofers will make the call to shingle over the existing roof, leading to problems such as soft or rotten spots throughout the roof. If these issues aren\u2019t resolved, severe damage can occur to your home. Make sure that your old roof is being completely removed before replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your physical address and phone number?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Make sure your roofers have a physical location and local phone number before hiring them. It\u2019s important to make sure that they are a legal operation, and if there are any problems, you can contact and locate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the warranty for my new roof?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget to ask about your roofing material\u2019s longevity and the warranty time for the roof. A properly installed roof with shingles should last at least 25 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will you provide a written estimate?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before you sign or agree to anything, make sure you have a detailed estimate in writing for all the different aspects of the job. You\u2019ll want to be aware of any surprise costs when the work is finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will there be someone on-site that I can speak with and ask questions?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s logical to have questions while the work is happening. Be prepared ahead of time and know who will be on-site that you can ask any questions you have.
