You should have certain expectations of your roofer. For example any shingles that fall down to the ground should be picked up and hauled off your property. In addition the roofer should pick up the majority of the nails that fall down as well although it is likely that a few may be missed. In general your yard should be clean and picked up after the work is completed.

Whether it be from inferior materials or improperly installed shingles you will save yourself many problems by getting it all replaced.

When looking around for roof insurance there are some questions you need to ask a potential company. Exactly what does the insurance cost? Will rates ever go up? What does the insurance cover? These questions need to be asked prior to agreeing to purchase roof insurance to be sure you are getting the coverage you need.

Typically most roofers offer warranties for roof replacements but not the cost of replacements. See what is available consider it when you are deciding who you should work with.
