Choosing a reliable contractor is every homeowners nightmare. The endless shopping for quotes, reading countless reviews, and ultimately still ending up with less than desired service. You could come to a professional roofing company like Hynes Roofing & Siding for all your home renovation needs or you could take a look at these five pointers to follow when hiring a roofing contractor for your home.
1: Ask for Recommendations
Talk to friends and neighbours about the contractors they have worked with in the past for their roofing needs. Their opinions and experiences can help you decide on a good local contractor for the job. You can also look at online reviews or call a roofing company like Hynes Roofing and Services and get in touch with expert roofing contractors who can help you through the process.
2: Better Business Bureau (BBB) Ratings
Look up Better Business Bureau (BBB) ratings for the contractor you intend to hire. Contractors are required to provide good service and maintain their rating in order to keep their certification.
3: Consider safety training
Always look to hire contractors with proper safety training. All contractors at Hynes Roofing & Siding have the proper training required to get the job done safely and efficiently.
4: Make sure they have proper licensing and insurance
Always make sure that the contractor or roofing company you hire have all the proper licensing and insurance covers for their contractors, sub-contractors, and employees. Be sure to pay your insurance deductible upfront, this will keep you protected. Any contractor who offers to handle the repairs without the homeowner paying an insurance deductible is committing insurance fraud and endangering the homeowner.
5: Lastly, know your options
The most important thing to look for in a contractor is their willingness to show you all your options. This would be materials to use for the roof repair or replacement. Contractors who have your best interest at heart, will always let you know about your options and help you pick the best quality material for the job.
