The outcome of your roofing project highly depends on the contractor you will be working with. You want to hire dependable professionals since roof replacement is a significant investment. A crucial step to finding the right roofer is obtaining estimates. Here’s what you need to know about this process.
Look for Prospective Contractors
It’s always better to hire a roofer from your area. Get referrals from your friends, family and neighbors. You can also look for local companies online. Once you have a list of potential contractors, research, check credentials, read customer reviews and browse their websites.
Schedule Inspections
The next step is to contact the roofers on your list through call or email. Tell them details about your project, request estimates and schedule onsite inspections. When prospective contractors inspect your roof, expect them to assess its condition and take measurements. Thorough assessments allow them to provide accurate estimates.
Receive Estimates
Following the inspections, you will receive estimates detailing the scope of work, necessary materials and labor costs. It should also include company information or contact details, project timelines and payment terms. Be sure to have estimates in writing and ask for proof of license and insurance.
Compare Estimates
Price is not the only thing you should consider when comparing roofing estimates. Take it as a red flag if a contractor is offering prices too good to be true. They could be skimping on materials to offer lower quotes and attract more clients.
Experience, material quality and warranties should all play roles in your decision-making process. You want to choose a company that specializes in the kind of roof you have and works with reputable manufacturers.
