Things You Don’t Want to Hear From Your Roofing Contractor

The success of your roofing project depends on how skilled your contractor is. However, finding the ideal roofer for your project is not always easy. When hiring anyone to work in your home, you must do your research, look for feedback from previous clients and ask for references. Another thing that can help is asking the right questions to your prospective contractor. 

Here are things you don’t want to hear from your roofing contractor.

I Am Not Familiar With the Kind of Roof That You Have

You should hire a contractor who has relevant experience with the kind of roof that you have. When your prospective contractor shows doubts about repairing your roof but says they can do it anyway, think twice about hiring them. A roofer who does not have enough knowledge or experience will only cause more harm than good. Roofing is a significant investment, so you want to hire a company that can do the job right the first time. 

You Need a New Roof Now

When it comes to roof repair and replacement projects, it always helps to get a second opinion. Roofs that are installed and maintained routinely can last for decades. If your roof is relatively new and you’ve been taking good care of it, it may not necessarily need a replacement. 

Experts suggest consulting and obtaining at least three estimates from different contractors. For instance, if two contractors say that you only need repairs and the other claims a replacement is necessary, likely, you don’t need to get a new roof.
