Whether your roof is composed of metal, tile, or cedar shingles, there will come a time every 15 to 50 years where it will need to be replaced. The process can be overwhelming unless you find an experienced roofing company to tackle the job. When reviewing potential candidates to complete a roof replacement, asking the right questions before the contract is signed can put you at ease. 

4 Questions to Ask When Preparing for a Roof Replacement

Do You Have Appropriate Credentials & Licenses?

Completing a roof replacement is a big job that requires training and on-the-job experience. Plus, contractors work at great heights which adds an element of danger to the task. As such, make sure your company is licensed and insured, so you won’t be held responsible in the event of a work-related accident. 

Will You Be Using Subcontractors?

Many construction companies use subcontractors to complete a job. Find out if your roofing team will be hiring from outside their organization for the replacement work. If so, confirm their subcontractors are also licensed and insured. 

Can You Provide References?

After meeting with a roof replacement company and comparing estimates, request a list of references. This way, you can speak with previous customers firsthand to better understand what daily operations and ongoing communication will look like. A respected roofer can boast top-notch referrals from happy clients to ensure future projects begin with confidence. 

What Is the Timeline?

A roof replacement can be disruptive and might require you to find alternate accommodations while the work is completed. Before signing a contract, double-check the timeline and get an exact date of when work will begin, so you can plan accordingly with minimal stress.
