Re-Roofs

Most people replace their home’s roof once in their lifetime. Some people move so much that they never have the opportunity to go through the experience of replacing their residential roof. Others are experts at remodeling their homes and replacing their roof. Whatever the case may be, there will come a time when a residential roofing project will cross your path. How will you attack this project? What will you list as your top five concerns for this project and in what order? This is a very challenging project for any homeowner. So many products, so many scam artists. How do you distinguish one contractor from another? Here are a few tips to ensure that you are dealing with a professional residential roofing contractor.

Did the contractor set a ladder on your home and measure the roof?
Did the contractor ask to look at your attic space?
Does the bid state how your personal belongings outside of your home will be protected?
Does the bid specifically state that they would clean every day before they go home for the day?
Ensure that the contractor is licensed in California by asking for a copy of the license with the bid.
Check a contractor’s license number at www.cslb.ca.gov or call (800) 321-CSLB.
Make sure all residential roofing project expectations are in writing and only sign the contract if you completely understand the terms.
Review the contract and ensure that the roofing contractor is not requesting more than 10% down or $1,000.00. Never agree to pay cash.
Ask the contractor to provide a letter of certification or certificate of the manufacturer that he/she is proposing.
Confirm that your residential roofing contractor has workers compensation insurance, general liability insurance, and automobile insurance. Ask for a certificate of insurance.
