5 Tips To Select The Right Roofing Contractor
It’s unfortunate, but most people engage with an NWA Roofing Contractor after a storm rolls in and causes damage to their roof. It’s likely that they have a leaky roof and they are suddenly forced to call for help in a bind. Selecting the right roofing contractor is crucial to ensure safety, quality, and affordability. Here are 5 questions to ask when looking for the right roofing contractor!
Do They Carry a License?
Truthfully, many "experienced contractors” try to make the jump into the roofing industry without the proper training or certifications. As a result, there tend to be a lot of pretenders and counterfeit roofers.
A great question to answer from the start is if they carry a license. A license is required for projects over $2000. Additionally, it is important to find out what kind of license they have. From residential remodeler licenses to commercial contractors, each level of licensing is progressively more strict with requirements. The higher the license, the more it communicates their experience, ability, and financial stability.
Do They Provide Quality Customer Education?
A high-quality roofing company will go above and beyond to educate their customers. Quality roofing education includes information on roofing systems such as flashing, underlayments, ventilation, and shingle quality. A customer should feel like they know as much about the process as their contractor if the contractor has done a good job in providing education to the customer.
Are they certified or endorsed by the manufacturer for the systems they install?
Anyone can install shingles, but the professionals will have manufacturer backing. This means that the roofing contractor has been vetted and approved by the brand manufacturer they represent and use. This is a very important certification that can protect you and your investment in your roof installation.
Do they have high reviews across multiple sites?
Google, The Better Business Bureau, Facebook, and Yelp are great examples of review sites to check. Some contractors “fake” or “buy” reviews by compensating people for gift cards and other fraudulent strategies. Reviews should be genuine and reflect a consistently positive experience from a well-rounded customer base.
Ask for referrals or a list of previous customers.
Finally, you should ask for a list of past customers. If you’re truly curious about workmanship and quality, you might even want a list of addresses so you can drive by and inspect previous work. It’s vital to hire a team of professionals that value safety and have a reputation built on referrals. Look for positive clues from past customers and work projects!
