The Power of Referrals
The first step to finding a reliable roofing contractor is to ask your friends and family for referrals. Word of mouth is a powerful tool, and if someone you trust had a good experience with a contractor, chances are you will too.
Ask them about the quality of work, timeliness, communication skills, and pricing of the contractor. Don’t forget to ask if they would recommend them again.
Online Reviews & Ratings
In addition to asking for referrals from people you know, it’s essential to check online reviews and ratings as well. Nowadays, it’s effortless to find reviews online on platforms such as Google Business Pages, Yelp or Angie’s List.
Take some time to read through the comments sections carefully! While there may be some negative reviews out there (which should not necessarily rule out a contractor), pay attention to how contractors respond and whether they try to resolve any issues flagged.
Certifications & Licenses
Another essential aspect in your search for roofing contractors is verifying their certifications and licenses. Different states have different requirements regarding business licensing for contractors, so make sure that any potential hire meets those standards.
Additionally, look for other certifications such as GAF Master Elite certification or CertainTeed Shingle Master certification. These additional certifications show that both the manufacturer and roofing contractor stand behind their workmanship guarantee-backed materials used during installation.
Remember that while finding the right roofing contractor may take some time initially but doing sufficient research can save homeowners from low-quality workmanship or being taken advantage of when it comes down to costs associated with the project set forth in writing at start (e.g., unanticipated cost increases). Research pays off in spades!
