Not sure which roofing contractor to turn to for your next project? First things first – the right roofing contractor to hire is the one that’s licensed, insured, experienced, and uses quality materials.

Services Roofing Company Offer

Although roofers generally provide the same core services (i.e., roof inspections, roof repairs, roof replacements, etc.), you’ll find roofers specializing in more technical services, such as siding, eavestrough, soffit, and fascia. At this point, you want to consider the price being quoted for the job — a price too low means that the work quality and materials are likely to suffer somewhere, resulting in the need for additional repairs or, worse, a brand new roof way too soon.

The Use Of A Roofing Contractor

Professional roofing companies back up their roofers with the latest equipment and training required to fulfill the job in a timely and professional manner, compared to independent roofing contractors. Renowned roofing companies connect with distributors and manufacturers to ensure authentic products are used (beware, there are many counterfeit shingles in the market!). For this reason, they provide lifetime warranties, higher-end products,post-installation services, and more. In addition, their lines of communication always stay open, so you get excellent customer care when you need it. It’s also good practice to get everything in writing — the estimated cost, the scope of work, and the estimated timeline for the job help set clear expectations for both parties involved.

What Does the Right Roofing Contractor Look Like?

With the right budget, you should be able to find a roofer with a reasonable budget and years’ worth of experience in installing the type of roof you wish for your home. You want to make sure the roofers working on your project are qualified to do the job, have the appropriate insurance, and have an accountable crew with each member performing specific tasks during installation to minimize the risk levels in terms of investment and injuries. No insurance often translates to the homeowner being caught on the hook in case of a mishap, so ensure that your roofing company offers liability insurance alongside worker’s compensation.

Next, you want your contractor to give you options of different shingles to choose from because the colour and style can significantly impact your home’s resale value and curb appeal.
