Selecting A Roofing & Construction Contractor

So often, we as consumers tend to equate the "best deal" with the lowest price.  But doing so can be extremely dangerous when shopping for a roofer or a home improvement contractor.  What an unscrupulous contractor presents to you as a low price can turn out to be an expensive mistake, if a poorly done job has to be redone.

The dilemma facing many homeonwers is that they don't have a lot of experience working with contractors since major home repairs and improvements are not something they do every day.   So that can make it very difficult for them to qualify a proposal and a contractor.  

How can a homeowner determine - up front - if a contractor will:

• deliver a quality job?
• perform the work in a timely manner?
• use quality materials?
• provide a meaningful guarantee?
• charge a reasonable price for what is being promised?
• keep their promises?
• fix issues that may come up?

Well there are ways for a consumer to get educated - in a hurry - about contractors and their competency.

Good contractors will always take the steps necessary to achieve a good reputation. 

Those steps include:

• getting their company certified by reputable materials manufacturers
• getting their workers properly trained on a regular basis
• obtaining adequate insurance to cover accidents and mishaps that can occur on the job
• obtaining required state and local licenses to operate their business legally
• joining business organizations for their trades to keep abreast of industry "best practices"
• providing methods for their customers to easily give feedback
• providing letters of reference from suppliers, indicating they pay their bills on time
• providing references from satisfied customers
