{May 17, 2010}   Watch out for Certain Roofing Companies

This article will provide eight points on how to select a quality Roofing Company to roof your home. #1 Please don’t use storm chasing companies- The most important thing to consider when selecting a roofing company to roof your home is to make certain they aren’t from out of state. When storms hit in your area storm chasers will come from out of town and even out of state. These companies will roof as many households as they can and then they will go chase the next storm. They likely won’t be around to honor their no leak warranty if you ever have any troubles with your roof. #2 Check the businesses Better Business Bureau Record- Just because a company is a member of the BBB doesn’t mean they have a respected record with the BBB. You should determine their report and rating on the BBB site to see if they have had any complaints. You should also make certain the business is a member of your local BBB. The storm chasers might be members of the BBB but they could be members of the BBB of San Antonio or Minnesota or anywhere. You should again make certain they are local. One last thing about the BBB is to determine how long the business has been a member of your local BBB. Storm chasers usually become members of the BBB in the cities that they are working in so you will think that they are local. So make sure they have been members for more than a couple of months. #3 Solid References- Checking out the references of a company that you are considering is a great way to make certain they are a honored roofing company. Any quality roofing company should have plenty of references in your area. #4 English speaking supervisor- There is nothing more disheartening than having a question during your roofing job and there is no one on the job that speaks English. #5 Be skeptical about Roofing companies asking to determine your insurance paperwork- If a company is asking to see your insurance paperwork before giving you an estimate then their price is likely going to fluctuate based on how much money you are getting paid. You should get their estimate before sharing any of that information.#6 Watch out for companies trying to increase your price after the work has been started- Many companies will try to charge you more money if they measure to low or find rotten decking during the job etc. You should have them put in the contract that your price will not change for any reason unless there is a stipulation in the contract stating what extra charges could arise during the job.I hope this short article will assist you choose a quality roofing company, so you can get a quality roof.
