Nowadays, many people are slightly hesitant when it comes to hiring a roofing contractor and this may be a good approach to take since there are various scams and bogus professionals out there. For this reason, a good place to start will be recommendations from friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors; referrals can also be gained from a roofers association since they will have guidelines that businesses need to follow. If the association provides you with a list of contractors, you should always do the following;
- Get three or more bids for your required work
- View references for each candidate as to their previous work
- Only pay $1,000 or 10% for down payment
- Always sign a written contract as long as you read it through properly
- Never make the final payment if you aren’t satisfied
- Only pay when they reach checkpoints (money should never overtake work)
- Never pay cash
- If you don’t feel comfortable, you don’t have to make a decision in the moment
- Contact us to have the work verified
