Whether you need a roof repair or replacement, hiring a reliable contractor is vital. You’ll know more about your prospective roofer by speaking with them. Their works can either put you at ease or raise red flags. A reputable roofing contractor will never say these things.
“I’m Not Familiar With Your Type of Roof”
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to roofing. If a roofer admits to not being familiar with the specifics of your roofing system but still insists they can handle the job, proceed with caution. You want to hire a contractor with the necessary knowledge and skills tailored to your roofing needs.
“We Don’t Need to Inspect Your Roof Thoroughly”
A thorough inspection is the first critical step in any roofing job. Any contractor who suggests that a quick look is sufficient is not providing the diligence required for quality work. Proper inspections should cover all parts of the system.
“I Can’t Provide Proof of License and Insurance”
License and insurance are non-negotiable aspects of any contractor’s credentials. A roofer must be able to present proper documentation. It ensures that you, as a homeowner, are protected from liability in the event of an accident.
“These Extra Shingles Will Do Just Fine”
Compromising on material quality to save cost is a colossal mistake. You don’t want a roofer using spare shingles from another job. It can lead to mismatched colors, substandard quality and potential warranty issues.
“You Need an Immediate Roof Replacement”
Roof replacement is a significant investment. While it can add value to your home, it is not always necessary. If a contractor hastily suggests a replacement without presenting repair alternatives, seek a second opinion. A reputable roofer will offer options and explain the condition of your roof meticulously, helping you make an informed decision without unnecessary pressure.
