Determining the right roofer for your home can be a confusing and hard task. Below are tips to help you select the right roofing contractor and getting the best value for money.

1. The Contractor must be insured
Ensure that your contractor has liability insurance and worker’s compensation. Ask for his certificates and call the insurance carrier to verify the validity of the details. You are safer knowing that a portion of the roofing cost is protected with the coverage security.

2. Select a local contractor
Ensure that the company you select is local. This means that they are not just operating on a local level. It means they are established and have a reputation in the locality.
Clients usually call with roofing problems within the five-year warranty period. Sometimes the company that installed the roof has moved, closed, or vanished.

3. Price is not everything
Do not select a roofing company on the basis of price. Low prices drive the market down. Any roofer with proper insurance and overhead will establish pricing. This is to cover these costs.
Clients who select a contractor based on the price end up spending more to fix their roofing problems. Many such roofing problems are covered under a workmanship guarantee by a reputable roofing company.

4. Stay away from storm chasers
Avoid roofers who knock on your door. Choose a roofer from a sign in your home area that has a satisfied client around. Or just pick one from a referral.
Don’t be scared by forceful tactics of storm chasers.

5. Get job details in writing
Do not pay until work is finished. Ensure that the results satisfy you and the payment terms were gone through before the job. Also, ensure that both parties adhered to the terms.

Ensure you know the period the job will take. You want to know the size of the roofing crew and the day they finish.

The above tips will prove useful when you encounter roofing problems. Keep them in mind!
