Don’t gamble with your gambrel!
Let’s look at some ways you can be sure you are hiring a well-qualified and experienced outfit when your roof is in need of some TLC.
Before making initial contact with a roofing contractor, do a quick Google search or visit the Better Business Bureau website to ensure the roofer is reputable.
- Upon making first contact, ask if the company is insured and bonded. Roofer liability insurance is essential protection for you should anything go wrong with the project.
- Request letters of recommendation from past customers.
- Check the company’s website to see if it provides the specific service you need.
- Establish the company’s level of experience with the type of roof, gutters, and skylights you’re looking to replace. For example, flat roofs are notoriously prone to becoming leaky, leading to damage.
- See if the contractor has a portfolio.
- Ask about the company’s guarantee of work quality. A lifetime guarantee protects your home and your investment.

Being an informed consumer means knowing what to look for in a well-built roof. Some features of the roofing process seem pretty obvious, but there are other things you should recognize.
- Even minor installation errors will result in major problems. Look for any metal materials that are dented or scratched, panels that are loose, poorly aligned, incompletely sealed, or overfull of sealant or adhesives. Exposed wood or nails will allow water to get in.
