A roof is such an important feature in protecting your home. You don’t want just anyone up there. Finding a quality roofing contractor is a big deal when it comes to home improvement.
How do you choose a good roofing contractor from all the different ones out there? There are some signs of a quality roofing contractor that you should be on the lookout for.
Follow these tips and tricks for choosing a quality roofing contractor:
Check the reviews. Across Facebook, Google, and some consumer advisement websites, you should see at least a few recent reviews for the company. Check to see what people say.- Research your local judicial records. Many states now make court records easy to look up online. If you see a company with many small claims or private suit judgments against them, you’ll know to stay away.
- Check business organization ratings. A Better Business Bureau rating can be a good clue regarding performance.
- While a new business could offer excellent quality, checking to see how long a company has been around can give you additional reassurance that it has the skills and experience to deliver an excellent product.
- Verify a company’s licensing, bonds and liability insurance. This essential documentation should be freely given and easily verifiable by contacting the granting organizations.
- Get an estimate. Your estimate should cover a fair range of possible budgetary considerations. A quality contractor will provide you documentation of this estimate and let you know if it’s a guaranteed estimate.
- Ask your friends. Online reviews are good, but reviews from people you know speak volumes. If someone you trust recommends a business, you will likely feel more confident going into the transaction.
