HOW TO CHOOSE A
ROOFING CONTRACTOR . . .
. . .

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?
