Your home’s roof is one of its most critical parts. It protects the interior from rain, keeps out drafts, and helps regulate the indoor temperature. If your roof needs to be repaired or replaced, you have to carefully choose a residential roofing contractor. Here are some tips to help you select the right company.

Ask People You Trust for Advice

You probably have friends or neighbors who have had their roofs repaired or replaced in recent years. Ask them about their experiences. They can tell you which contractors they would recommend and can also tell you about any negative experiences they have had so you can avoid hiring the wrong company.

Get Quotes

Narrow down your choices to a few local contractors, then ask each of them give you an estimate. When you compare the bids, go through them line by line to make sure that each business provided a quote for the same services and that it plans to use the same materials.

While keeping costs down is important, you want to avoid simply choosing the company that gives you the lowest estimate. It might provide shoddy work, or other charges might get tacked on later.

Request References

Before you hire any home improvement contractor, ask for references. Contact a few recent customers and ask about their experiences, both good and bad. Honest responses from homeowners who have had a contractor work on their houses can be some of your best sources of information.

Check on Licenses and Insurance

Make sure that the company you choose is licensed and insured. This is a critical step that homeowners sometimes skip, either because they don’t think about it, or they just assume that every contractor has the appropriate credentials and coverage. If you hire a company that doesn’t have qualified workers, you can wind up with even bigger problems later on. If the business isn’t insured and someone gets hurt, you might be held financially responsible.
