Choosing the right roofing contractors for your home can be a tough decision. In this blog post, we will outline some of the questions you should ask when interviewing potential contractors and give you a list of things to look out for. By going through these steps, you will have a much better chance of finding the best company to meet your needs.

Do you need a new roof?

The first step is to determine if your current roof needs replacing. While looking at the exterior of the home, there are several things that can give away signs it may be time for a replacement. The following will help you identify whether or not your old shingles should be replaced:

Shingles that are curling, buckling, or blistering Water infiltration around the roof’s eaves, ridge cap, chimney, or skylights Granules in the gutters and downspouts Age of the roof (most roofs have a lifespan of 20-25 years)

If you answer yes to any of the above, it is likely time for a new roof. If you are unsure, it’s always best to consult with a professional.

What Services do They Provide?

It’s best to get a detailed list of all the services that will be provided before signing any paperwork. By doing so, you can narrow down companies based on what your home needs.

Are They Experienced?

Before you hire a contractor, be sure to ask how long they’ve been in business and if they have any testimonials. You will also want to find out what type of experience they have with the work that needs to be done on your home.

Their Charge & Your Budget

The next step is to determine a price range that works best for you. Make sure they give you an estimate and be prepared with questions like:

Are their prices competitive?

Do the quotes include or exclude sales tax, permit fees, etc.? Will there be any additional charges after the original contract? Is this based on your home’s square footage?

By following these simple steps, you can feel confident in the decision you make when choosing a roofing contractor. For more information, please visit www.lumbelacontractors.co.za.
