When your roof is leaking in the middle of a storm, it’s a little late to be choosing a roofing company and have sufficient time to feel comfortable with your choice. It’s better to have a contractor in place for emergencies.
When buying a house, ask the seller for the roof’s age, contractor’s name, and type of warranty. Since roofs can last longer than some people occupy a house, they may not know this, but may have a roofer they’ve used. This is a good start.
Ask family and friends; investigate at the Better Business Bureau. Check if they are licensed, bonded, and insured. Then call several companies for a roofing quote. If you already know where you need roof repair, that helps because you’ll see if they find the problem. Different companies may find more or less wrong with your roof. You will develop a feel for the basis of their recommendations. Some companies may be more detail oriented or prevention based. Others may mention less fixes because they missed items or to offer a lower price to get the job. Ask them about the ‘overlooked’ fixes; their experience may say those are not immediate needs if budget is your issue, or they may have been exaggerated by the higher priced companies to make more money.
In the end, it is your call whom you feel you can trust to deliver quality timely work. Choose your roofing company before you have emergency needs and you know you’ve chosen well.
