When you need roofing services, hiring a qualified contractor is a must in order to have confidence that you’ll get durable results. Since most homeowners don’t hire roofing contractors very often, some may be unaware of what to look for in a Rockford roofing company.

Knowing what questions to ask can help you weed out the roofers who may leave you with inferior results.

Here are some questions you should ask when hiring a roofing contractor:

Is the Business Licensed and Insured?

If a roofing company isn’t fully licensed, bonded, and insured, avoid doing business with them. You need to know that if something happens during the job the company will be able to cover the liability.

How Many Years of Experience Do You Bring to the Project?

Experience counts when it comes to a roof replacement or repair. You need to know that the roofing company you choose has a history of proven expertise and of standing behind their work.

What Types/Brands of Material Do You Use?

All roofing materials are not the same, and some roofers keep costs down by using inferior materials. Choose a roofing company that uses quality materials from trusted brands.

Are They Certified by Any Shingle Manufacturers?

When a roofing company is certified by top roofing manufacturers, that gives you another layer of confidence that the company can be trusted with your roofing project.

Do They Offer a Workmanship Warranty?

Quality roofing manufacturers offer warranties that protect their products, but you also want a roofing company that provides a warranty on their workmanship. Reputable roofers who know they offer quality workmanship will have no problem doing that, and a company that refuses should be avoided.

Is the Business Locally Owned?

It’s not necessarily a red flag if a roofing company isn’t locally owned, but many homeowners prefer local roofers and find that the customer service is often better.

Can You Provide References?

Read—and—heed references from homeowners who have worked with the roofing company in the past. Also, check out online reviews. A few bad reviews may not be a problem but look for patterns of complaints.
