Having a roof properly installed is crucial when wanting the manufacturer limited warranty coverage on your shingles. Selecting the right roofer to get the job done right, is important. In this blog, we will go over the questions to ask your roofer to ensure you’re making the best decision possible.

Questions to Ask:

1. Do you have insurance?- The roofing contractor NEEDS to have insurance. It is necessary to have insurance to protect their company as well as yourself in the event an accident occurs.

3. What is your permanent address?- To ensure you’re not left in the dust if something goes wrong, ensure there is a physical address you can go to if worst case scenario.
4. Are there before and after pictures of previous jobs?- Before and after pictures can give you a good visual representation of what is to be expected.
5. How many years of experience do you have?- If there website doesn’t say how long they’ve been in business, ask them. It’s likely they haven’t been in business for long if they didn’t put it on the home page of their website.
6. Are there honest reviews?- To get honest input about this company, read as many reviews as possible, good and bad.
7. What do you specialize in doing?- Some roofers may specialize in one thing in particular like skylights. Find a roofing expert that specializes in what you need.

Has the time come to fork out money for a new roof? As financially frustrating as it is to spend thousands of dollars on something that isn’t as exciting as a new car or even a new couch, it is still important. We don’t always like prioritizing but when it comes to the safety of you and your family, it’s impossible not to. So now that you’ve accepted the fact that you’re on the market for a new roof, it’s time to find a roofing contractor to do the job. 

Why do you need a licensed and professional roofer? Well, because when it comes to the sturdiness of your roof and safety of every living being inside the home, you don’t want some joe shmoe off the street who doesn’t know what they’re doing. Unfortunately, we can’t trust everyone we meet no matter how nice they may be and we must spend more to get more. Just because joe tells you he’s licensed and knows what he’s doing, does not mean that is accurate. And just with anything else, you pay for quality. When you get a new roof installed by a certified and licensed roofing contractor, you get quality, professionalism, a good warranty, and peace of mind. 

Your house is a place you make a home. If you don’t feel safe and secure, then are you really at home? Without a sturdy roof over your head, it’s hard to feel safe. I get it… I’d be a little worried too if I knew my roof was in rough shape. The image of my roof caving in on me during my favorite movie would be enough to send me to the bank to pull out all my money to give to the next roofing company I saw. Luckily, I know a licensed, professional, and certified roofing contractor here in Phoenix, Arizona!
