Steps to find a Reputable Roofer


1. Ask friends and family for recommendations.
2. Once you have a list of prospects, call them and ask these questions:
·         Do they take on projects of your size? This one will almost always be a Yes, but it is a good starting point to get the contractor’s interest and attention
·         Can they supply a list of previous clients as references?
·         Are they willing to provide financial references from banks and suppliers?
·         How many other projects will they be working on while doing your roof?
·         Will they be using subcontractors? If so, how long have they worked with them?
This information will tell you how reliable they are, how much attention they’ll give to your project and how smoothly the work will go.
3. From your phone conversations, choose three to four contractors to come to your home for estimates. Don’t go on personality alone. Be sure to check their reputation with their past clients and/or BBB, rip off report, Angie’s List if you have it, etc.
4. Follow up on the information you’ve gathered. Call their clients to see if they are satisfied with the work and service they’ve received.
5. When prospective contractors visit your home, they should inspect the roof, along with the attic insulation and ventilation system in place.
6. To accurately compare bids, ask for a breakdown of the contractors’ estimates. The estimate should include cost of materials, labor, other expenses and profit margin.
7. Throw out the low-ball bid. If an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is.
8. Go with your gut. You must be comfortable with not only their ability to do the work, but also how you feel around them.
