Having your roof repaired or replaced is a major investment, both in terms of time and money.\u00a0 Naturally, for something so important, you\u2019d like to be reassured that the people you\u2019re hiring to do it for you aren\u2019t just qualified, but rather that they\u2019re the best people you can hire for the job.\u00a0 Here are six important questions to ask any roofer<\/a> you\u2019re looking to hire.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s is the company\u2019s physical address?<\/h4>\n

While merely having a physical address isn\u2019t necessarily a measure of a company\u2019s ability, it does indicate that they\u2019re most likely going to be around after the job is done.\u00a0 This is important in the case of warranty claims and such. The lack of a physical location is a cause for concern, and a sign that you should take your business elsewhere.<\/p>\n

For best results, go with a company whose contact numbers indicate a local presence; these companies are the ones most likely to have an established business and presence or reputation in the community.\u00a0 Aside from making it easier to chase them down in the case of warranty claims, local businesses are more likely to have good contacts with local suppliers, as well as local references you can follow-up on.<\/p>\n

\"Six<\/p>\n

Are you licensed?<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s important to know that the company you\u2019re hiring is licensed to do roof work in your state.\u00a0 Licensing requirements vary from state to state; additionally, cities and counties may have specific local licensing requirements, separate from the state.\u00a0 Check your local licensing requirements, and make sure the company has the required licenses.<\/p>\n

Do you have insurance?<\/h4>\n

Roofing contractors should carry both workman\u2019s compensation and liability insurance; this serves to protect you in the event of an accident.\u00a0 Ask to see the insurance certificates, and contact the insurance company to verify that they\u2019re valid.<\/p>\n

Where can I see past and current examples of your work?<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

To judge the quality of a company\u2019s work, nothing beats being able to go over yourself and see what their finished work looks like.\u00a0 Better still, if they\u2019re currently working on another job, ask if you can see it so you can get an idea of how they work.<\/p>\n

\"Six<\/p>\n

Can you provide references?<\/h4>\n

Along with an idea of how their work looks, talking to past customers will help you get a good idea of how, exactly, the company operates.\u00a0 Ask past customers about whether or not they were satisfied with the work, and whether or not they encountered difficulties with the company.<\/p>\n

What are your warranty terms?<\/h4>\n

Not only is it important to know how long the company is willing to guarantee their work, it\u2019s also important to know exactly what is covered by the warranty.\u00a0 Take note that the warranty for the roofing materials is usually separate from that of the roof work, and is usually covered by the manufacturer, not the roofer.<\/p>\n

\"Six<\/p>\n

While the personal interview isn\u2019t the only way of finding the right roofing company<\/a>, the information you need to make an informed choice is summed up in these six questions.\u00a0 As long as you keep these questions in mind, you can\u2019t go wrong when it comes to picking out the right roofing company.<\/p>\n
