HOW TO CHOOSE A PERFECT CONTRACTOR

Your home is where you make memories, keep your belongings and spend days with your family. It is a „box“ filled with the most important people and things in your life.  People are not emotionally connected to their houses just because they live there, it is because the most important decisions, most memorable moments are brought and spent there. So, it is only normal that we want to keep our family and everything else as safe as possible and secure the items from any damage. In order to achieve that, you have to have a high quality roof. Roof is the main thing to look after because it is the wall between you and the outside world. A quality, long lasting and durable roof is not easy to install, so that’s why you need to choose the appropriate roofing contractor. You may think „Well, okay, that can’t be hard, I’ll just google it“, but this if as far from reality as it can be. There are many things to consider and keep in mind when choosing a contractor, and today we are going to cover the most prominent ones. So, if you don’t want to risk the health of your family members and the safety of everything you invested in your home, then keep reading and make a smart decision.

Why is it so crucial?

Marketing plays a major role in how people see the world. Even though we always think that we as individuals can’t be affected by the commercials, we are only fooling ourselves. It is an often case that these commercials and marketing strategies have the opposite effect. They make people think „ oh, who cares, they are all the same“.  And yet that is not true nor a good perspective. Contrary of what the TV consumers may think, there are big differences in how different roofing companies perform and do business.  They don’t use the same materials, the do not charge the same amount of money, they don’t all communicate with their clients. You should choose an experienced contractor who has been through all the risky situations and knows exactly how to handle them. A quality and trustworthy contractor will know which material is the best for the climate you live in and will estimate the roof shape that is the best for you. They will also make sure that they use the space wisely and maybe, if possible, give you an additional room. All of these factors can significantly improve the quality of your lifestyle, the state your bank account is in and the longevity of your roof. Roof installation is a complex procedure and only a professional should do it. So, all of the previously mentioned is why you should choose the right roofing contractor.

Our tips for picking the best one

To make this process as easy as it can be you will need a lot of patience and time. There are many tips that we can give and the prominent one is to take everything slowly. Never listen or trust the stories about the roofing company from your neighbors no matter if they say good things or bad things. Do you own quality research of the contractor and search for facts and experience from different people? You should never pick the first candidate, just like any employer, you should have at least 5 options to choose from. This will allow you to compare the prices, the services, to telephone and set up a meeting with every contractor and see what they offer and how well do you communicate with them.  After you see how you fit with certain roofing companies, you should focus on the facts. The contractor you pick should have the license and a liability insurance. Never, and we mean never, accept the cheaper offer if it compromises the license. Those stories are just scams that we prepared a whole article about on our website, so check it out. Having license means that the company is trustworthy and that you will be given a warranty which is extremely important.  This is up to you but we recommend you not to accept extremely cheap offers. Keep in mind that the money you give them will be further used to buy materials and the appropriate equipment.  Less money often means lower quality materials and that would only be a road to a lot of repairs in the future. Set up a meeting with each contractor and ask for their tax identification number as well as for their plan of the roof installation: how much time will it take, where do they get their materials from, are their roofers educated and so on.

Picking the right contractor is time consuming process and you should always give yourself enough time to think about the offers. We assure you that this procedure can be as easy or as boring as you make it, take this as an adventure and go in it with a positive spirit.
