It is widely accepted to get 3 estimates for the work, review the proposals and pick the best company. Well, where do you get the names to invite in to bid your project?
The best solution is to ask friends and family in and around Warren Michigan if they have any recommendation. This is far better than doing a Google search for roofers in warren mi and rolling the dice.
Make sure their contractors license is current and in good standing. If its not, they will not be able to pull a building permit. Do not allow any home improvement begin without a permit. Trying to avoid this step for any reason, financial or otherwise is a real good sign, you did not hire a professional.
Make sure you get atleast 3 of the roofers most recent references and one older one. 3 is the minimum! Anyone working in the roofing field as a professional works everyday. Call them all, any wrong numbers are not a mistake, its a red flag (they had the number right when they wanted to get paid). You will not get a bad reference, if i did 100 jobs and only three were done right, guess which three i’m giving you. But it is important to do your part.
Be sure to ask for the name and number of their insurance company, roofing insurance and workman’s comp, is terribly expensive. These costs are built into the estimate. You are paying for this insurance coverage, its up to you to make sure you are getting what you pay for. Make sure that the insurance company understands the scope of the work being done. Many roofing contractors have insurance for say, installing windows or carpentry, to scale the high cost of roofing insurance, and if someone falls off the roof, the insurance company wont pay, if they discover the truth during there investigation (roofers need roofers insurance).
Another great source to find roofers in Michigan is to use Owens Roofers Referral Service which is owned by two roofing veterans Craig Owens and Ken Perry. They match you up with only qualified roofing professionals so you can avoid the headaches that most home owners face when choosing the wrong roofing contractor.
