There are many roofing contractors-good and bad-honest and dishonest. Some of the shadiest characters claim to be roofers. They taint the trade for the majority of roofing contractors who perform a quality, timely, honest, service oriented business.
- Get recommendations from others and checkout their roofs.
- Ask for references from potential roofing contractors & check them out.
- Ask if the contractor is insured for damage and on-the-job accidents. Ask him to have their insurance company fax or email you proof.
- Don’t pay the roof contractor upfront for the entire job. A reputable contractor has good enough cash flow to order materials. It’s OK to pay the contractor for the materials after they are delivered to your home. Don’t pay the final payment for the job until the work is completed, including the cleanup.
- Get several estimates for the same job (at least 3). Make sure the quotes cover the same materials and workmanship.
- A qualified contractor will help you obtain financing, if you need it.
Before signing a contract make sure that the contract states in detail:
- the work to be completed
- the specific materials to be used
- completion date and penalties
- warrantees & guarantees
- cleanup (removal of materials)
- total price
- method of payment
If you are financing the work make certain that the contract clearly states:
- purchase price
- amount of down payment
- balance owed
- number of installments
- finance charges
- interest rate
