How to Pick a Roofer

There are many deciding factors when it comes to how to pick a roofer that have nothing to do with the price. Even though the price is very important, it is good to remember that you will end up getting what you pay for. When something is cheap and seems too good to be true, it usually is. Look into other important qualities that a roofer should have.

 

 

 

 

 

Look into their history

The reputation of any company says a lot about them. This can be seen through awards over the years, client testimonials, and word of mouth within the community. Important awards can be from the manufacturer of the products that the roofing company uses. For example, Royalty consistently receives awards from Duro-Last and GAF for the quality of our services, customer satisfaction, and outstanding performance in sales. A quick and reliable way to find a roofer is by asking your neighbors. They will be able to talk about their experiences so you can easily pick someone or rule them out of your search.

 

 

What happens after the initial work?

When it comes time to pick a roofer, the warranties offered are especially important. This includes both the manufacturer’s warranty and the roofing labor warranty. The manufacturer’s warranty will cover any defects in the materials used. The roofing labor warranty covers the work done by the roofers.

Dangers of a storm chaser

Storm chasers are roofing companies that follow natural disasters and capitalize on the victim’s vulnerabilities. They only do the bare minimum to repair or replace the roof. This makes them very unreliable when they are picked as your roofer. It can get even worse if they ask for all the money upfront and then they move onto the next town affected and never bother to repair your roof. A way to identify storm chasers is if they come door to door, so be sure to do your research before making the final decision.

 

 

 

Price should not be the only factor when picking your roofer, even though it is an important one. A cheap roof may look appealing, but in the end, you will get what you pay for. If you have to call them back to come fix the work they did, that is never a good sign. It is better to go with a company that is reliable and will put on a roof that will last well beyond the cheaper options and be around after the initial install.
