The Importance of a Quality Roofing Contractor

A well-installed roof is crucial for protecting your home from the elements and maintaining its value. Choosing the right roofing contractor can make all the difference.

Four key questions to ask before choosing a roofing contractor

When interviewing roofing comapanies, ask these essential questions to assess their expertise and commitment to quality:

1-) Are you licensed, bonded, and adequately insured?

To be licensed in Colorado requires licensing within the city or county jurisdiction where your home is located. Not all Colorado roofers are licensed in all jurisdictions. A bonded roofer has proven their ethical business practice to a bonding company. And insurance is critical in roofing, including general liability, workman’s compensation, and vehicle insurance, due to the difficult and occasionally hazardous work conditions of the roofing teams.

2-) Are you a local company?

With the Front Range being ranked as high as the #2 hardest-hit hail market in the United States, many “storm chaser” contractors pass through after hail storms to try and win restoration bids. Hiring a local company will give you peace of mind that any future warranty claims will be honored.

3-) What warranty do you offer?

Roofing warranties can be confusing since the manufacturer provides the material warranty and the roofer is responsible for the workmanship (proper installation) warranty. All material manufacturers warrant their product for 30+ years, so as a homeowner you should focus on what workmanship warranty the roofer provides. This will help you gain comfort with them should any future claim arise.

4-) Can you provide references?

This may be the best way to determine how good a job the contractor does, as prior customers have been through what you are going through right now. Check the contractor’s google reviews and ask them if they would be willing to share references from prior jobs. A good contractor will be proud to have their former customers speak about their experience.

Additional Considerations to choose a roofing company

• Local company: Hiring a local roof contractor can offer peace of mind and easier access to future maintenance or repairs.
• Storm damage expertise: If you’ve experienced recent storms, inquire about their experience with storm damage repairs.
• Communication and customer service: A reputable contractor will prioritize clear communication and excellent customer service.
