F.A.Q

How do I choose a roof contracter?
You should insist on working with a professional roofing contractor.
It pays to remember that all roofing contractors are not alike. There is no fool-proof method for selecting a professional, but there are a number of things you can do to help you make the best decision possible when evaluating contractors:

How can I be sure I am choosing the right professional?
Check for a permanent place of business, telephone number, tax I.D. number and where appropriate, a business license. A professional will have these readily available.

Make sure the coverages run through the duration of the job. Many building owners and homeowners have been dragged into litigation involving uninsured roofing contractors. Also, if a contractor is not properly insured, the owner may be liable for accidents that occur on the property.
Check to see if the roofing contractor is properly licensed or bonded.

Should I ask for references?
Look for a company with a proven track record that readily offers client references and a list of completed projects. Call these clients to find out if they were satisfied with the roof systems, services and work they received.

How can I stay informed of progress?
Have the contractor explain his project supervision and quality control procedures. Request the name of the person who will be in charge, the number of workers that will be required and the estimated time of completion. If you have questions, be sure and ask.
