Roofing companies- Important Questions You Need To Ask Before Hiring Them For Your  Roofing  in Medford

Before hiring roofing contractors to repair or replace the roof on your house, there are several important questions you should ask.  The answers to these questions will help you determine if the roofing contractors can help you with your roofing problem.  You can compile an initial list of potential roofing contractors by asking for referrals from family and friends, contacting local building associations, looking through the Yellow Pages, and checking online.  Here is a list of some of the most important questions you need to ask roofing contractors before hiring them for your roofing job.

Question #1 What is the business name and physical address of the roofing contractors?

A legitimate roofing contractor will have a legal business name and fixed address (not just a p.o. box).

Question #2 How long have the roofing contractors been in business?

Experience is an important consideration when choosing a roofing contractor.  In addition to asking how many years the company has been in business you will also want to find out what types of work the roofing contractors have experience with.  Some contractors specialize in certain types of repairs or roofing types, such as asphalt roofing, wood shingles, or slate roofs.

Question #3 Are the roofing contractors licensed or credentialed?

Many states and local governments do have licensing requirements for roofing contractors.  You should check with your local city or county clerk’s office to determine if there are any licensing requirements and then check with the potential roofing contractors to see if they meet the requirements.

Question #4  What types of insurance coverage do the roofing contractors possess?

You should ask for proof of insurance for both liability and workers compensation insurance.  If the roofing contractor is not insured you as the home owner would be liable for any injuries on the job.

Question #5 Do the roofing contractors warranty their work?

Ask each roofing contractor what type of warranty they offer and what the length of time the warranty is for.  Most warranties are for one year.

Question #6 Do the roofing contractors provide references from previous customers on past jobs?

You should ask for several references from past customers from each roofing contractor you are considering hiring and contact the references to ensure the roofing contractors perform satisfactory work.

Question #7 Do the roofing contractors use sub-contractors?

If the roofing contractors use sub-contractors you will need to check on the sub-contractors as well.

Question #8 Do the roofing contractors provide detailed estimates?  What is included in their estimates?

You will want detailed written estimates for your roofing job.  Ask the roofing contractors what will be included in their estimates.

These initial questions will help you screen potential roofing contractors and help you determine if they are qualified to do the job.  For those roofing contractors that pass your initial questions, you will want to get detailed written estimates and compare them, along with the information you gathered from your questions and research, before you make your final decision on which roofing contractor will be best to help you with your roofing job.
