5 Signs of a Reliable Roofing Contractor

You might only need to replace your roof once or twice in your life. It’s normal, therefore, to be able to find the right roofing contractor is important.

These are five key points that every reliable roofer can easily demonstrate. These are the key factors that you need to look for a trusted roofer who will give your home the protection it needs.

An Established, Local Reputation

Ask around. Ask around. Do you know of anyone who has had a roof replaced or repaired recently? Referring others to a roofing contractor can be a great way to find one, especially if they are people you trust. These are some questions that you might want to ask:

• Are you satisfied with the appearance and quality of your roof?
• Are you satisfied with the installation?
• What was the customer service like?
• Was the price fair

Positive Customer Reviews Online

You can check the online reviews of the roofing contractor if you don’t know anyone. You’ll know you are dealing with a reliable roofer if they have at least a 4/5 Star review.

Make sure to read the comments and not just the rating. Are there contractors whose names are frequently mentioned? Are there any patterns you can see that show a commitment to quality service?

Demonstrative professionalism

Trustworthy roofing contractors will invest in the professional appearance of their company. A clean, well-maintained website, an easy-to-use work van, and responsive customer service staff are all examples of this. Are they willing to provide free inspections or quotes? What other ways could they show their commitment to providing courteous and professional customer service?

Use of established roofing brands

Quality products are key to roof replacement. You should ensure that you only choose a trusted roofer who uses roofing brands you recognize. You can ask the roofer if they have any information about which roofing brands they use. These are the top-rated roofing brands:

• GAF
• Owens Corning
• CertainTeed
