How To Hire A Professional Roofing Contractor
Choosing the right professional roofing contractor to install or
repair your roof is the most important step when you have to make a repair or
replace your old roof. Why? Well, for starters, there's an old saying, "The most
important day in the life of your roof is the day it's installed. "Proper
installation procedures" are vitally important.
In selecting the right professional to handle your roofing needs, here are some
simple things to look for:
-
Make sure your roofing contractor
has the proper insurance coverage and
bonding. Did you know that when you hire a roofing contractor who is not
properly insured and bonded, you may become the "general contractor" and are
then responsible for not only any damage to your home, but you may also be
liable if a roofing employee gets hurt while working on your home.
-
Make sure your roofing contractor has a valid contractor's license for
your city, county and/or state and obtains all of the necessary permits to work
on your home. Remember, if the contractor does not obtain all of the necessary
permits, you may be held legally liable by your city or county and, in some
situations, you may be unable to sell your home.
-
Make sure your roofing contractor offers workmanship warranties (not just
manufacturer warranties). This will protect you from shoddy installation
procedures.
Some of he major reasons for manufacturer warranties being void are due to:
-
Improper installation
-
Inadequate attic ventilation
-
Condensation of moisture
-
Improper nail placement
-
Natural disasters (lightning, hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, hailstorms,
excessive wind)
-
Too many layers being applied to a roof
