Because your roof protects your home and the contents of it, you should always hire a roofer with appropriate experience and expertise. However, superior service requires more than the baseline of qualifications. Below are a few attributes a roofer should have before you hire them.

What to Look For in a High-Quality Roofer

1. Experience

Ask how long the company has been in business and how long the owner has been working in the industry. Someone who has worked in the industry for years is more likely to spot potential issues and anticipate problems before they arise. Additionally, ask if they have experience with your type of roof. For instance, many contractors can handle asphalt shingles, but fewer have experience installing metal or cement tile roofs.

2. Insurance

Liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage are important in case of an accident. While it isn’t likely that a roofer will be injured on-site, you don’t want to be held liable if they are. Make sure the company you hire has adequate insurance coverage. Typically, commercial liability policies have limits of $1 million or more.

3. Licensing

Roofer in Greene County, OHConstruction and roofing contractors are not licensed through the state of Ohio, but they are qualified by local standards. Make sure your roofer is up-to-date on all licensing requirements for your municipality or county. These are put in place for your protection and to guarantee the team you hire is adequately qualified, trained, and experienced.

4. Good Word of Mouth

Ask friends, neighbors, and local relatives if they can recommend a roofing contractor. Positive reviews from community members will help you narrow down your selections. Also read online reviews from sites like Google+, if available. If their previous customers are happy with their results, it’s likely that you will be, too.
