Things to Ask Before Signing a Contract with a Roofer

When you’re hiring a roofer for a roofing project such as a roof repair in Vancouver, it’s important to understand what a contract entails. While roofing contracts may differ depending on the roofing company, make sure you’re asking the right questions.

Crown Roofing LTD discusses some of these questions.

What is your company’s full name and physical address?

A roofing contractor that can provide their full name and physical location is an indication that they’re trustworthy. You can be at ease knowing that we have a physical address and reliable contact information for your roofing needs.

Do you have insurance?

Roofers should have workman’s compensation and liability insurance for your protection. Worker’s compensation will keep you from being liable if an accident occurs on your property while a roofer does any roof maintenance in Surrey. We are a GAF® Master Elite™ contractor and part of the requirement of being one is having sufficient insurance. This is all for your peace of mind.

Do you have a license?

Many, if not most states, require a roofer to have a license. First, verify if your area requires a license for a contractor to provide their services. Check with your local licensing offices next if your prospective roofer’s license is up to date and is in good standing. In addition to having sufficient insurance, being a GAF-certified contractor requires having a state license. Expect our license to be up to date for your peace of mind.

Do you offer warranties for your roofing jobs?

Warranties protect you from product material defects and poor workmanship. Before you hire a contractor, ask the coverage and duration of their warranties. These typically last for a year but some companies can offer more than this.

For instance, as a GAF-certified roofer, we can provide you with the brand’s residential roofing in Vancouver that comes with GAF-supported warranties. You can expect these to cover material defects and faulty installation for many years.

Always ask the right questions before signing a contract with a roofing contractor. With Crown Roofing LTD , however, you can be sure that you’re in good hands. Call us today at (604) 210-6655 for more information about us.
