After you
have compiled a list of possible roofing contractors, take time to evaluate each one carefully. A professional contractor
will be happy to provide any information you may require.
Business
Name and Address - A good, professional contractor will provide the company's permanent business address and
telephone number.
Experience
- The training and experience of a contractor, as well as the age of his or her company, will help you determine their ability
to successfully complete your roofing project.
Licensing/Bonding
- Ask for business license numbers and information on the company which bonds the contractor. Then check with local authorities
to see that the company complies with regulations.
Insurance
Coverage - A contractor should carry workers' compensation and general liability insurance. Request the name
and address of the insurance carrier, along with a copy of the company's insurance certificate.
Professional
References - Ask for credit references, banking information and a list of completed projects including the
names and telephone numbers of previous clients.
Company
Philosophy - Discuss application techniques and workmanship guarantees. Does the contractor stand behind their
work?
