Choosing a Roofing Contractor for Your Home

Choosing a Roofing Contractor for Your Home

Choosing a roofing contractor for your home is an important part of the process of getting a roof that is going to stand the test of time. Many people think that a roof is a roof and that it doesn’t matter who you get to put it on your home, but this could not be further from the truth. You need someone who is experienced with putting quality roofs on homes so you have a roof that looks good and will hold up well over time. Choosing the right roofing contractor is just as important, if not more so, than the actual products that you choose to install.

The purpose of a roof is to protect the entire dwelling from the elements. If the roof is not put on your home properly rain and wind will be able to get into the home and will cause damage to wood word, dry wall, paint, and more. If a roof is not put on properly it can cause a lot of damage, more than it would have cost to put a roof on right the first time around.

When choosing a roofing contractor for your home, be sure that you shop around a bit. Don’t just look for the best price, look for a contractor that will be able to bring experience, quality products, and quality labor into the project. It’s better to pay a bit more for a roof that is done right than to end up paying for damages in the future when the faulty roof leaks. Do a bit of shopping around for the right contractor, ask questions about experience, insurance, bonding, and licensing as these are things that all legit roofers will be able to bring to the table when they are installing a roof on your home.

    It could be several reasons and the state in which they are licensed, but here are two possibilities.

    License is under Contractors Bond Suspension. A contractor's bond may have been received by the Board but not yet processed. Once the bond is processed the suspension will be lifted retroactively to the effective date of the bond. Ask the contractor for proof of a contractor's bond and contact the bonding company to verify bond status.

    License is under suspension for failure to comply with Workers Comp. A workers´ compensation certificate or exemption statement may have been received by the Board but not yet processed. Once the certificate or exemption statement is processed the suspension will be lifted retroactively to the effective date of the certificate or exemption statement. Ask the contractor for proof of worker's compensation and contact the insurance company to verify coverage.

    I had an ice storm in 2005, which my shingles need replacing, but I also have framing issues. What would you suggest? Watch My Money Pit, parts 1-3.

    Hi Renee,
    Looks like you’ve had some quality issues and a little bad luck down there in Georgia. Sorry . . .

    Can you tell me a little more about your roof situation? What’s on there now, what the insurance company said, etc.

    Thanks, maybe I can help out . . .

    Thanks, RM. I think we’re the only ones in the Maryland/DC area doing before, during, and after pictures of jobs. Video too. I’m really surprised that our competition hasn’t “wised up” — it’s a great way to instill trust and confidence.

    . . . but there may be other reasons why they don’t . . .

    Yeah, it’s that roofer “trust issue” again which is why there are so many horror stories all over the news.

    I like the before-during-after photo suggestion but it seems like a lot of work. I’d hire a roofer that used photos if I could find one.

    If your wanting reputable contractors you should go to your Better Business Bureau to check on contractors. Ask each for licenses, bond, list of jobs they have done and your contract of being satisfied with the job. Have a bank hold funds for release when done and they will need no advancement on materials.

    This work IS pretty rough. Sevan, I see stuff like this all the time and an pretty amazed when I see it.

    Yes, it’s a disgrace . . . epecially since the homeowner trusted them to work on his roof.
