All homeowners who want to undertake a roof renovation project that they may not be able to do themselves tend to have questions about how a professional roofing contractor can help them. However, before deciding to hire or work with a roofing contractor to fix your roof, you may need to do some research beforehand to learn more about the roofing professional you are looking for.
Fortunately, from Pittsabana we know the most common needs, questions and doubts when you want to work with a roofing contractor. That’s why we have a list with the 5 questions you can’t miss when you want to change your roof with a roofing contractor.
How long have you been working as a roofing contractor?
When we ask this question, we want to be sure that the contractor has enough experience performing roofing repairs and installation to give us a degree of confidence in working with them. Although experience does not always guarantee a good job, it is a very important pillar when choosing a good roofing contractor.
Are you licensed as a roofing contractor?
This question guarantees that you are a responsible and legal contractor. Although this point can be decisive, it may vary depending on the size of the job to be done and the restrictions that your state has for roofing contractors, so it is important to investigate beforehand if a license is required in your state. Thinking about it is not a bad thing to do because when you are looking for a roofing contractor you want to make sure that the project is protected and that you can do the job legally.
Do you have any examples or references of your previous work?
This is a very frequent question as it is the best way to know the quality and service that the roofing contracting has performed. Although it is a very common question it is always good to search and do previous research on social networks or website of the roofing contracting to see their work and comments. Also, to be sure you can ask for a list of references to make sure how they have dealt with other clients who have had work done previously.
Can I get a quote?
One of the questions we are most concerned about when looking for a roofing contractor is when should I pay for a remodeling or installation of a new roof, and how can the project affect the value of your home if it is of interest to you as an investment. It is very important to receive a detailed estimate of how the costs of the repair or installation of your roof will be broken down. Also, if they have financing options or types of payment methods to get the job done.
What is the expected timeline for this project?
It is normal to be concerned about the time it may take to complete the project (planning, budgeting, timing), especially if you must move from where you are when the work is being done. Although times can be altered by the different factors that influence the installation of roofs such as the climate, the area and the difficulty of the materials. It is always important to ask for a realistic time estimate and with a professional roofing contractor you should have no problems with this estimate.
