Partnering with a licensed, local roofing company ensures consistent care, faster service, and clear accountability. Before you sign anything, ask if the contractor is licensed in your state and if the license is current. Confirm general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, then request proof. Follow up by asking what manufacturer and artistry warranties apply, how long they last, and what they cover. These answers protect your home, your budget, and your timeline.
Learn About Experience and Past Results
Ask how many years they have installed the specific roofing system you want, such as asphalt shingles, metal, tile, or flat membranes. Request recent local references and addresses you can drive by. A quality contractor will show photos of similar jobs, provide reviews, and explain how they handle unique roof structures, chimneys, and skylights. Consistent results signal reliable craft.
Clarify Scope, Materials, and Schedule
Have the contractor walk your roof and explain their inspection findings in plain terms. Ask what brand and line of materials they recommend, why those products fit your climate, and whether underlayment, flashing, ventilation, and drip edge are included. Get a precise start date, estimated duration, daily work hours, and a plan for weather delays. Detailed answers prevent surprises.
Understand Crew, Site Management, and Safety
Ask who will be on site each day and who supervises the crew. Confirm daily cleanup, debris removal, and magnet sweeping for nails. Discuss property protection for landscaping, gutters, and driveways. Verify safety practices, including fall protection and ladder protocols. A contractor with firm processes keeps your home tidy and your family safe.
Request a written proposal that itemizes materials, labor, permits, and contingencies. Ask about change order procedures, final inspection, and how punch list items are handled. Clarify deposits, progress draws, and acceptable payment methods. Choosing a roofing contractor who answers these questions clearly leads to a smoother project, better artistry, and long-term performance for your roof.
