Your roof has an important job to do — protecting your family and belongings from the elements. It also insulates your living space and boosts your home’s curb appeal and property value.
So, when it's time for a roof repair or replacement, it's crucial to hire the best roofing contractor in Norton.
Here are five essential questions to ask before hiring a roofer for your next project:
1. Are You Licensed and Insured?
Accidents, property damage, or poor workmanship can have serious consequences. A licensed contractor has met state or local regulations, proving they have the knowledge and professionalism required. Insurance protects both you and the crew if accidents happen on your property.
Revered Roofing is fully licensed and insured, and we’re happy to provide documentation upon request.
2. What Is Your Experience With Projects Like Mine?
Whether your roof is made of asphalt shingles, metal, or is a flat roof, your contractor should have extensive experience with that specific type. Ask how long they’ve been in business, what types of roofs they typically install, and request examples of recent work.
3. What Does the Warranty Cover?
Good roofing contractors offer both a manufacturer’s warranty (covering materials) and a workmanship warranty (covering labor). Ask about:
- What type of warranties are provided?
- Coverage terms and duration?
- Who to contact if an issue arises post-installation?
4. Can You Give Me References or Reviews?
A trustworthy contractor should have no issue providing references. Look for consistent positive feedback through reviews and testimonials. Speaking with past customers offers valuable insight into their service quality and professionalism.
5. What Is the Timeline and Payment Structure?
A reputable roofer provides:
- A written estimate
- Defined start and completion dates
- A clear, fair payment schedule
Avoid contractors who demand full payment upfront or offer vague proposals. Be sure to ask:
- When can the project begin and end?
- How are payments structured?
- What potential delays or extra costs should be expected?
Communication is essential. If a contractor isn’t transparent, it’s a red flag — don’t hesitate to walk away.
Make the Right Choice
Choosing the right roofing contractor doesn’t have to be stressful. Focus on experience, clear communication, warranties, and reputation to make a confident, informed decision.
