As you navigate the process of selecting a contractor for roof repair or replacement, you should take the time to understand what is being done to your roof. Understanding the scope of the job will allow you to monitor the project from start to finish. Here is what to ask a potential contractor:

  • What types of roofing do you install?
  • Do you work with homeowner’s insurance to file claims?
  • Do you have a current license to do this work in my area?
  • What types of insurance do you have, and what is the coverage?
  • Can you provide references?
  • Do you take photos during the inspection and after completing the project?
  • Will you give me a written estimate after the inspection?
  • Do you do roofing repairs? How much do they cost?
  • Is your work covered by manufacturer warranty?
  • How do you keep projects on schedule? What’s your inclement weather policy?
  • Do you remove or dispose of old roofing materials? Is there a disposal charge? Do you recycle old materials?
  • When and how do you bill or invoice? Do you accept credit cards? Do you offer financing?
