When it's time to select a
roofing contractor, remember that all roofing contractors are not
alike. A new roof is a big investment - take your time and make a
smart decision.
|

Ms. Roofing suggests and
adheres to the following industry standard guidelines.
|
-
Ensure that your
contractor has a permanent place of business, telephone number, tax
identification number and, where applicable, a business license.
A separate business office is a mark of a more established and/or
professional organization than a contractor who works out of his home.
-
Obtain copies of
the contractor's business license, insurance and bonding. Insist
on seeing copies of his liability
coverage and workers' compensation certificates. Make sure the
coverage is in effect through the duration of the job. Many
building and home owners have been dragged into litigation involving
uninsured roofing contractors. Also, if a contractor is not properly
insured, you may be liable for accidents that occur on your property.
-
Ask for a list of
references and call some of them to determine their satisfaction
with the job. You may want to drive by some completed jobs.
-
You should receive
a detailed, written proposal and examine it for complete descriptions
of the work and specifications, including approximate starting and
completion dates and payment procedures.
-
Have the contractor
list the roofing manufacturers with which his firm is a licensed or
approved applicator. Most roof systems require special application
expertise to achieve lasting quality and/or warranty.
-
Check to see if the
contractor is a member of any regional or national industry
associations. Membership in industry associations demonstrates a
commitment to professionalism.
-
Call your local
Better Business Bureau or Department of Professional Regulation to
check for possible complaints filed against the contractor.
-
Keep a
healthy skepticism about the lowest bid. If it sounds too good to be
true, it probably is. Many contractors' below-cost bids seem
attractive, but these contractors often are uninsured and/or perform
substandard work.
-
Remember,
price is only one of the criteria for selecting a roofing contractor.
Professionalism, experience and quality workmanship as offered by
companies such as Ms. Roofing and Restoration should weigh heavily in
your decision.
