Getting roof repairs or a full replacement is a great way to both update your home and keep it protected from the elements. But with so many roofing contractors out there, it can be difficult to sort through them all and find the professionals who are capable of delivering the highest quality work. Below are a few of the most important questions to ask potential roofers when you begin the screening process. 

Top 3 Questions for Roofing Contractors

1. Do You Have References?

One of the best ways to get a strong sense of a roofing contractor's work is by consulting previous clients. Ask the contractor if they have references from homeowner’s they've done work for in the past—this will help you develop an accurate, objective impression of the quality and costs of their work.

2. Do You Offer a Warranty?

A roofer that stands behind their work will typically offer warranties for it. Look for at least a one-year period for repairs, and make sure to distinguish between the manufacturer's warranty for materials and the roofing contractor's one for labor. 

3. Do You Use Subcontractors?

When working with construction contractors, it's important to get a sense of how much work their company does and how much of it is outsourced to subcontractors. If most or all of the roofing repair or replacement is carried out by subcontractors, it could be a warning sign that this is not the right company for you. You want to have a direct, one-on-one relationship with the person overseeing construction work on your home.
