Important Questions to Ask a Roofer

It is important to thoroughly vet your contractor to ensure the success of your roofing project. And to do just that, you need to know the right questions to ask during your initial consultation with them. Luckily for you, we’ve compiled this list of essential questions to ask a roofer. 

“Are You Licensed, Bonded and Insured?”

This is the first thing you should ask a roofing contractor. A license is a piece of document that proves the contractor has handled roof-related projects in the past. Meanwhile, being bonded means that a bonding company recognizes that the roofer does business correctly and ethically. Your contractor should also be fully insured with general liability and worker’s compensation.

“How Long Have You Been in the Business?”

Ideally, you want to work with a roofing company that has been in the industry for many years, is established and has a good reputation in the local area.

“Are You Certified by Shingle Manufacturers?”

Ask the roofer if they are certified by any of the trusted roofing manufacturers and if you can see a copy of their certification. This certification signifies that the shingle manufacturer trusts the roofing contractor to install and maintain their products according to the highest standards.

“Do You Have References?”

References are crucial to any home improvement project. A reputable company should be able to provide you with references from projects they have completed in the past three to six months. If the contractors are not willing to provide this piece of information or do not have any reliable references at all, it will be best to take a step back and just move on to the next contractor on your list.
