If it seems too good to be true, it probably is! Use these questions to hire a reliable, experienced, ethical roofing contractor who can become your partner in maintaining your roof. 🏠
✓ What is your experience as a roofing contractor?
✓ My neighbor has a contractor waiving their deductible. Why should I pay mine and use you as my contractor?
Current Texas law states it’s against the law for a roofing contractor to waive your deductible. The contractor will have to make up the cost in some other way, which could mean cutting corners.
✓ Are you insured? Can you show me your general liability insurance?
✓ What manufacturers are you certified to install?
Homeowners can often confirm on the manufacturers’ websites.
✓ Do you have a full-time address in North Texas?
Ideally, you want a contractor that will be around after your roof is completed.
✓ Will you provide a detailed written proposal including a description of work, completion schedule, and cost, including any up-front costs?
✓ How much money will you require up front?
It’s not unusual to have to pay for materials up front, but be cautious when paying for incomplete work.
✓ Can you provide references from recent work in North Texas?
✓ What is your warranty on labor? What will the manufacturer warranty cover?
✓ Are you a member of a roofing association that holds its members to high standards?
