A quality roofing contractor is a trusted service professional you can rely on as long when you own a home. Whether your current system needs repairs or a complete replacement, there are several questions to ask contractors before signing paperwork. To help you get started, a few of these questions are below.

Before You Hire: A Few Roofing Contractor Frequently Asked Questions

Are the materials under warranty?

Ensure the shingles or other roofing materials the contractor uses are under manufacturer warranties before moving forward. Also, ask which brands the company works with, as most reputable contractors have relationships with specific brands and can get what they need at discounted rates to keep costs low. 

Can you furnish references?

Request references, or ask for social media reviews you can read. Referrals, testimonials, and reviews let you know what to expect, such as whether the roofers arrive on time, provide quality work, clean up after themselves, and answer customer questions in detail.

Will you tear off the current roof?

Work with contractors who tear off old shingle roofs instead of providing re-roofing services. While such services are cheaper than full replacements, they weigh down your roof structure and do not account for underlying issues such as wood rot and mold growth.
