There are probably hundreds of roofing companies in your area, but how do you know how to find the best one in your area?
Here are a couple things you should look for when searching for the best roofing contractor near you to make sure you get your roof done right the first time!
Hire A Roof Consultant
A roof consultant is like a mortgage broker, but for your roof!
We provide an in-depth analysis of your roof before any recommendations are made. While you may have obvious damages externally, there may be other complications that can't be seen—and may lead to major, costly damages down the road.
After we've provided you with a complete scope of your situation, we provide you with a detailed, step-by-step process to restore your property and a selection of 3 quotes from our extensive network of top-quality contractors in your area.
This unique approach allows us to provide our clients with options that fit their budget and individual needs. Saving you time...and money.
At Pineda Consulting, we promise to always provide an objective suggestion that is in the best interest of our clients—never ours.
Ask About Roof Certifications
A roof certification is a statement of opinion by a licensed roofer that deems the life expectancy of your roof to be up to 3 years. This roof certification signals that the roof should perform as designed for a certain period of time.
It is a way to make sure you're receiving quality work, and won't run into problems in the near future.
Each roof certification assesses the roofs condition, highlights any deficiencies to be taken care of before project completion, and certifies there are no defects. A roof certification is not always a warranty, so it's important to ask what all a roof certification includes. As a roof consultancy, we only recommend roofing contractors that are able to stand behind their work and offer certifications so you can rest assured you're receiving the quality of workmanship you deserve.
"Are You Licensed?"
Some states and counties require a license for roofing contractors. Ask about licenses to make sure your contractor does have any outstanding violations.
It's also important to ask if the contractor is utilizing subcontractors, and if they carry the proper licenses—if required in your area.
Are They Local?
Why would you want your roofing contractor to be local? Contractors often operate in other areas to find work, but what happens if something goes wrong and they're out of town? You will have a hard time getting them to come back to fix their job, or honor their warranty.
This is why it's important to hire a local roofing contractor, or ask what their policy is for working out of town. Hiring a local roofing contractor will help you avoid headaches in the future.
Will They Cover Accidental Damages?
Let's say a window gets broken, the asphalt in your driveway cracks during your roof replacement or repair, or something along those lines occurs during the project. Who is going to cover the unexpected expense?
Ask your contractor what their policy is for accidental damages and if they're insured for these unexpected expenses. This will save you a headache, and protect you against unforeseen expenses in the future.
