June 15, 2019 1:04 pm Consider These 4 Points Before Signing A Roofing Contract
By Marty Olivieri – Owner of Olivieri Roofing
The roof of your home not only protects you from thundering storms, blasts of cold, and blazing sunshine, it can provide a place of peace and serenity for you after a long day of work. When the building needs a roof, the solution is to call a roofing company. The problem is there are many businesses and contractors that claim they can do the job and the prices often vary greatly. To help you find a reputable company that specializes in residential roofing, keep these four points in mind.
- Area Climate
As you interview potential contractors, ask what options you have available in roofing fabrics. An area that experiences torrential rains may require a different type of roofing materials than one which has a wet, humid winter with the associated molds and mildews.
- Roofing Styles
Residential roofs come in many different styles, and if you want to try a different roofing fabric, discuss possible options during your interview. Some popular styles available to you may include metal, clay tiles, asphalt sheets, and slate pieces. Solar panel options may also be available for residential roofing in some areas.
- Maintenance Services
You cannot foretell the future, so it can be necessary to protect yourself with an agreement with your contractor about roofing repairs, maintenance, and future upgrades. Put the agreements in writing to protect your home from future disaster repair problems.
- Company Experience
Before your interview with a potential contractor, check the company’s expertise in redoing roofs by researching customer reviews and complaints on the internet. You can also talk to neighbors and friends that have used the company. Do not forget to discuss costs, quality of workmanship, and expected work time for the residential roofing project, and explain your expectations so your contractor knows exactly what you want. Once you find a company that satisfies the four points above, you can be more assured you are dealing with someone that can put a roof on your home that will protect you for many years to come.
