When you need a new roof, don't trust just anybody to do the job. Taking time to find the best roofing contractor will save you money and hassle in the future. For over 40 years, family-owned and -operated Foster & Foster Siding Inc. has been the roofing company homeowners in High Point, NC, have turned to for high-quality roof replacements.

To hire the best contractor in your area, here are a few questions you should ask potential roofing companies:

• Are You Licensed? Roofing contractors often are required to be licensed at either the state or local level; however, regulations vary from state to state. Research requirements for roofers in your area before you hire a roofing company, then ensure the license of the contractor you choose is up to date. 

• Are You Insured? All employers, even those with three or fewer employees, are required to have workers' compensation insurance. Some roofing companies try to avoid this requirement because of the expense, and it could cost you thousands of dollars if you hire one and a worker is injured on your property. Any roofing company you hire also should carry general liability insurance to protect you from the cost of repairs if your property is damaged while they are installing your roof.

• Will You Remove My Old Roof? Avoid hiring any roofing company that plans to shingle over your old roof. If your old roof is not removed before the new one is installed, soft spots and rotten wood underneath probably will go undetected. If these bad spots are not corrected, they will create a bigger expense in the future.
