How to hire a Salt Lake City Roofing Contractor
Roof acts as the shield to your house and protects you from the intense heat of sun, storm and snowfall. It is one of the most important parts of your house and you must devote sufficient time deciding on the right expert to hire for its installation. Before hiring a Salt Lake City roofing contractor for construction or repair work, it is important that you give highest priority to their competence level. A wrong selection of a residential roofer may lead to sudden miseries that can affect your entire family. With a good roofer, you are assured of the job getting done meticulously without any and a properly installed roof will not just provide safety for you and your family but also add a touch of beauty to your home.
Licensed and insured Contractor
There are many general contractors in Utah especially in Wasatch Valley area who claim that they deal in the installation of roofing, but only a few of them are licensed to carry out the work. Before hiring, make sure that he has the license for the kind of roofing that you want for your house. There is nothing wrong asking for the verification of his credentials before you hire him for his services. It is also very important to make sure that the Salt Lake City roofing contractor’s firm is properly insured and its workers have an adequate insurance coverage. This is essential to save you from any liability in case of any labor working at the site getting involved in an accident. The company’s insurance can take care of the cost of treatment in such cases.
Take the feed back from previous customers
Gather information about the past customers along with their phone numbers from the sales staff of every Salt Lake City roofing company you approach. Call these customers who will tell you about their own experience of getting the work done from the company, its level of expertise in installing roof of various types of materials such as clay tiles, metal, asphalt shingles and wood shakes and the different types of services offered by them. Hire an expert only after you get good feedback from quite a few previous customers.
Detailed cost estimate
It is very important to keep in mind the cost estimate given by each of the Salt Lake City roofing contractor firm. Ask him to give you a detailed break-up of the labor and material cost for the entire job, breaking it down to the smallest detail possible. This makes it easier for you to make a comparison of the rates offered by different firms and you can decide the one you think gives you the best possible deal.

Please help to answer the question about metal roof contractorGuys, Can you help with a question about my ceiling caving in?
My boyfriend went into the spare room which we are converting into a baby room, and he said the ceiling is caving in, he said you can poke it and it moves…. The house was just re-roofed about two months ago, now why would this just be happening and how can a contractor fix it? We haven't had any substantial rain for a while now, it did rain this morning for about 15 minutes…but nothing major.
Will it take a long time for them to fix it?
We also had a metal roof put on.
I did put this in the repair and maintenance category, and only got one answer.

Warranties on roofing materials are rarely used, for several reasons:
1. The bulk of the cost is in labor, rather than materials.
2. Manufacturers only cover defective materials, and the vast majority of problems with your roof are caused by incorrect installation, inappropriate materials given your location, "acts of God", etc.
3. Even if you do determine that you have defective materials, the warranty is typically pro-rated after a few years, so that after 10 years you'd only get a percentage of the amount you had originally spent.
It is much more important to get a guarantee from the roofing contractor that you hired.
Finally, although proof of purchase is helpful, it isn't usually required by manufacturers. Most roofing materials include a serial number or other method of identification, and this should be adequate should you wish to invoke the warranty.

The restaurant industry has slip resistant shoes that work very well in greasy conditions. But they won't have steel toes or shanks.

You have to have ventilation. Metal is not an insulator, it's a conductor. If it's shiny it will reflect, but it won't stay shiny. If there is insulation under the metal, then the reflective quality will be helpful, but if not, the metal will heat up and it will get hotter than hell in your attic, and make your AC work harder. The more ventilation you have, the better. Ridge vents are good.
The problem with your existing fans is that they were made to install on a shingle roof, and the flange is probably full of nail holes and roofing cement, and hard to tie in on a metal roof. They can probably be modified in various ways, (e.g. curb mounted), by a good sheetmetal mechanic to work with a metal roof, and hopefully, your roofer is a good sheetmetal mechanic. Alternatively you could put gable fans, if you have gables.

A metal roof is not installed by a plumber, it would be installed by a roofer or a sheet metal worker.

Hcl eats metal. If there were holes in the enamel the acid when applied would attack the roofing. The damage would be immediate and obvious.
Hcl becomes diluted (weaker) when you add water. If the contractor was careful to rinse well and then you had three days of rain it's hard to imagine any acid residue could have remained or done any damage.
You might buy one piece of roofing and duplicate the cleaning and flushing process to see if it damages the metal. This could provide some insights.
good luck.
