Key Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Roofer

Roof installation is a job that requires experience and skills from a professional. When looking for a roofing company to handle your project, it’s important to make sure that the contractor is qualified to provide you with reliable solutions.

Chase Roofing LLC lists some of the questions you should ask roofers before hiring them.

“Will You Reuse Old Flashings or Install New Ones?”

Replacing the flashings on your roof isn’t a simple job. Your old flashings are customized to fit the dimensions and material of your existing roof. This means your roofer must remove and measure the existing flashing. Then, they should custom-bend the new ones before installing them properly.

“How Much Does It Cost to Replace Plywood on a Roof?”

It can be hard to backtrack and dispute overinflated costs for plywood sheeting used to replace rotten decking. That’s why you should ask your roofer before the work starts how much they’ll charge per plywood sheet. Consider this factor so that you can prepare an adequate roof repair and replacement budget.

“How Will You Leave the Job Site at the End of Each Day?”

Your roofer shouldn’t strip your roof more than necessary each day, making sure your home is protected from the elements. If there are any open areas remaining, in case of an emergency or sudden change of weather, the roofers should cover them with a tarp before leaving. They also need to check the lawn and garden for dangerous objects, like nails.
