Protecting the key defender of your home is critical for you and your family. Here are a few things you can do before you hire a roofing contractor that can help with roof costs.
Shop Around
If you have any friends or family that recently had a successful roofing job completed, ask them for the business’s information. Look up reviews on trusted sites, and read testimonials for the business. Call several roofers to get quotes and request references, being careful not to immediately go with the lowest bid. This doesn’t always result in quality work. Ask about their warranties on materials and installations.
Call Your Insurance
Homeowners insurance usually covers any roof damage not caused by wear-and-tear and neglect. If your roof has been affected by recent weather conditions, your insurer may pay all or part of the cost. Contact them for your policy’s specifics and more information.
Know Your Roof
Have answers ready to questions before talking to roofing contractors, including the size, materials, and complexity of your roof.
Know what kind of materials you’d like used, what kind of roof you may want, and any current issues with it. Speaking the same language as your roofing contractor will help to ensure there’s no miscommunication.
Right Timing
Roofing contractors are busiest in summer and fall, and that can increase costs. Roofing contractors may offer a discount for roof replacements during the late winter or spring when they aren’t as busy.
If you see signs of trouble on your roof, don’t put it off and wait until you have substantial damage that forces you to contact a roofing contractor. Keeping up on roof maintenance will help keep your roofing costs low. By doing your research and shopping around, you can make sure that the job gets done right the first time.
