When it’s time for roofing repairs or replacement, knowing the right questions to ask can save you headaches and ensure you hire a reliable and professional contractor. Here are four key questions to guide your decision and help you confidently choose a roofer who delivers quality, transparency, and peace of mind.
Make sure the roofing contractor provides their full business name and a verifiable physical address. Avoid companies that only use P.O. boxes, this could indicate a lack of legitimacy. Confirm their licensing, insurance, and bonding (if applicable) and verify any claims via your local licensing office or the Better Business Bureau. This background check helps ensure you’re working with a legitimate, professionally accountable roofer.
A trustworthy roofer should clearly explain both manufacturer warranties on roofing materials and their own workmanship warranty. Understand what’s covered under each, how long the coverage lasts, and who handles issues even after the job is done. This protects your investment and keeps expectations clear from the start.
You deserve a written estimate that outlines labor, materials, project duration, and any subcontracted work. Be sure they include details such as clean-up, damage protection, permits, and handling weather delays. Avoid surprises by confirming they offer a realistic schedule and contingency plans, for example, how they will respond if rain or other complications occur mid-project.
Ask for recent references, ideally homeowners in your area who had similar work done. Reach out for direct feedback on professionalism, communication, adherence to schedule, clean-up, and whether the final cost matched the estimate. Also, ask who you’ll be dealing with throughout the project, is there a dedicated project manager or point person? Clear communication channels and local experience are essential.
