Your roof protects your home from outdoor elements and extreme weather conditions. It’s crucial to hire a qualified roofer to install your roofing system because installation quality influences the performance and longevity of your roof.
Asking the right questions to potential contractors will help you decide whether they’re fit for the job or not. Here are some of the best questions to ask a roofing contractor before signing an agreement with the company.
Are You Licensed and Insured?
A licensed and insured business can give you peace of mind because you know the team will adhere to local regulations. And with liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance, you can trust them to be responsible throughout your project. If they accidentally damage your property or one of their workers gets injured while working on your roof, you can rest assured that the contractor will cover the costs.
How Are You Going to Protect My Home?
Roof replacement involves a lot of mess, so make sure to ask the contractors about their measures for protecting your home and belongings from dirt, dust and damage. You can be proactive by covering your furniture, outdoor plants and swimming pool, but your roofer must also take some steps to avoid damaging your property.
What Will You Do if It Rains?
Weather can be unpredictable, so your contractor must have an alternate plan in case it rains unexpectedly. Typically, roofers prepare a large tarp or dense plastic to cover the entire roof during rain. They will also have to wait for the surfaces and roofing components to dry before they can proceed with the installation. This will delay your project, but it’s the recommended approach to avoid errors that will compromise your new roof.
Who Should I Contact if Something Goes Wrong?
Responsible contractors will leave you with the staff’s contact information. They’ll introduce you to a point person who will address any questions you may regarding your project.
