Taking care of your roof is an important part of owning a home. However, it can be difficult to find a roofing contractor that meets your needs. That’s why it is important to know what you're looking for when you’re talking to prospective contractors. If a company meets the following three requirements, you can trust in their services.

Properly Licensed

One of the very first things you should look for in a roofing contractor is their credentials. What licensing do they have? In the state of Missouri, contractors are not required to have a state license to work. However, they must be certified at the local level. The more accreditation they have, the more trustworthy they likely are. For example, have they been evaluated by the Better Business Bureau®? Look for a contractor who has scored an A+, as this ensures their service is top-notch. 

Fully Insured

Apart from licensing, it is imperative to hire a fully insured contractor. Ask about their policy. In most cases, a company will either have liability, worker’s compensation, or both. As a homeowner, you are looking for liability insurance. This protects you against any potential damages caused to your property or yourself by the contractor or their team. This could include issues with the installation or repairs, accidents that cause further damage to your roof or shingles, or injuries from debris. 

Good Communication

Pay attention to how you are treated upon first meeting a roofing contractor. Is your phone call answered the first time you call? Are you spoken to in a professional manner? When you schedule a consultation, take note whether or not they are on time. It is also important that you feel listened to and are prompted to ask questions. If you feel rushed, move on to a different professional. Communication also includes the ability to get quotes. Get in writing how much a job should cost and how long it will take.
