Questions to Gauge Your Roofer’s Capability

All roofing jobs are equally important, which is why they require thorough planning and investment to pull off properly. Another important part of all roofing projects is picking the right roofing contractor to work with. However, with so many roofing companies offering their services, how can you distinguish the best among the rest? Find out the questions you can ask your prospective roofing contractor before signing off the contract here.

Are You Insured and Registered?

Most states require roofing companies to have a roofing license before they can offer their services to the public. Before everything else, you have to ensure that you’re working with a registered contractor, since this gives you peace of mind knowing that they are compliant with all building codes. Keep in mind that projects that violate these regulations will be taken down by force, increasing your costs.

You should also ask your roof repair contractor if they are bonded or insured. Fortunately, the majority of today’s roofing companies provide insurance coverage, the two kinds being: general liability insurance, and worker’s compensation insurance. General liability covers you from accidental property damage, while workers’ compensation insurance shields you from liability in case a worker gets wounded or gets into an accident on your property while on the job.

What’s the Project Scope?

Your roofing contractor should be able to clearly communicate the project scope to you in a manner that a layman can understand. This helps you get a clearer understanding of the project to avoid discrepancies during the planning phase. In turn, this lets you get the best result from your project and allows you to get as close as possible to the result you envisioned. Don’t forget to keep all agreements in writing so that it’s binding.
