If you need to hire a roofer, you probably know you have homework to do. In addition to researching companies, assessing qualifications, and requesting estimates, there are a few specific questions that will give you an idea of the quality of service you will receive. Below are some in-depth questions to ask potential roofers that will show you what to expect from working with them.

Impressive Questions to Ask Your Roofer

Can You Only Work in Good Weather?

Most roofing work can only be performed when it’s warm and dry, as such conditions are necessary for adhesive to cure. However, it is sometimes possible for roofers to work in cold or wet weather if they use certain installation practices or products. Find out which conditions your contractor requires for your project, so you can schedule the work accordingly.

Can You Replicate My Current Roof Style & Color?

If you’re happy with your current roofing style and aren’t interested in a major change, it would be disappointing to hire a roofer only to find that they don’t work with those materials. Whether you’re getting a roof patch or a full replacement, make sure the company can install your preferred shingles.

Do You Offer Any Warranties?

Most roofing companies offer a warranty for their labor, often for one year. You may also receive a separate manufacturer’s warranty, which only covers the materials, and it likely lasts for a different length of time. Additionally, all roofing materials have different warranties, and some aren’t covered at all. Make sure you know what’s covered and what isn’t.

How Will You Dispose of Refuse?

Roof work can get very messy, especially if it involves replacing all or part of your roof. Find out beforehand how your roofing contractor will dispose of the refuse, and whether or not they’ll haul it off your property themselves.
