How Do I Choose The Best Roofing Companies?

by Roofer911 - 1 Comments

When you need roof work, everyone wants the best roofing companies to be the ones providing quotes. How do you know if you've found one? Price is not always the best guide.

The best time to find this out, is before you need immediate help. Start by calling the companies in online or phone directories. Ask for an inspection, hopefully a free one. Take good notes on all they recommend. Write down anything you don't understand and ask for more details. You should receive a written estimate afterwards. The notes prepare your to ask questions of the next company.

With the second company, as they do the inspection, if they haven't mentioned something the first company did - get their input. They may have overlooked something (keep note of this) or they may find the issue less important. Move onto the next company, using the same procedure. You will gain an education in the process. Of course you should ask for references, and verify them. Look up companies with the Better Business Bureau, Angie's List, Kudzu, or other review sites.

When all the estimates are in; see if you are comparing apples to apples. Check back with the roofers who had the highest and lowest prices. The lowest price may cut corners, or are cutting profit to win your bid. The highest may use better materials ask the advantages of this. The best roofing companies do quality work at a fair price and have the experience to explain their work.

All too often, folks go with the cheapest bid. It is fine to go with the lowest bid however it should be from a reputable company and must be qualified with the equal product that their competitor is quoting.
