When Hiring a Roofer, Ask These Questions<\/h1>\n

Getting your roof repaired or replaced<\/strong> is a job you wouldn\u2019t trust to just anyone. When major storms ravage an area, some roofers come through Northern Virginia to repair damages and then disappear the next day, leaving you with no dependable roofer if something goes wrong your newly repaired or replaced roof<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hiring the right roofing contractor takes time and requires that you do your due diligence. Your roof protects your home, your family, your assets. You want to know that you have a professional company you can turn to for all your roofing needs. Here are some questions you should ask to be sure you\u2019ve found the right Northern Virginia roofer!<\/em><\/p>\n

Are They Accredited With the Better Business Bureau?<\/h2>\n

\"residentialSome roofing companies have reviews on popular websites but aren\u2019t accredited with the Better Business Bureau (BBB)<\/em>. It\u2019s always in your best interest to find a roofer who\u2019s accredited with the BBB<\/a> to ensure you\u2019re getting a reputable professional who doesn\u2019t have any outstanding complaints against them.<\/p>\n

The BBB\u2019s site also has ratings from customers in addition to information about the company, allowing you to verify the roofing company in question matches up with what they say and is BBB-accredited for your peace of mind!<\/p>\n

Is the Northern Virginia Roofer Licensed and Insured?<\/h2>\n

Your Northern Virginia roofer should always be licensed and insured<\/strong> when working on your property. Never go with a company that can\u2019t prove that their employees or business is insured, no matter how tempting their pricing or promises may be. If someone is injured on your property or if they leave the job half-done, you are not protected.<\/p>\n

All reputable roofing contractors<\/em> will be licensed and insured according to your state\u2019s requirements. If the company you work with doesn\u2019t advertise the fact that they\u2019re insured and licensed, you may want to ask if they are and for proof.<\/p>\n

Do They Have Any Manufacturer Certifications?<\/h2>\n

\"installingDepending on what type of material you\u2019re using to replace your roof, it could be in your best interest to ask if the contractor has any manufacturer designations or certifications<\/strong> to speak of. For example, if you\u2019re choosing shingles from CertainTeed, is your roofing contractor certified as a ShingleMaster\u2122 with CertainTeed to provide you with the best installation and warranties?<\/p>\n

Many reputable roofing companies maintain some type of manufacturer designation to provide you with experienced installers for the specific product you\u2019ve chosen. You can follow up with the contractor in question to ask about their certifications and to see proof of their accreditation.<\/em><\/p>\n

Are They Local?<\/h3>\n

There are several advantages to working with a local business<\/strong> when it comes to getting your roofing problems addressed. First, local companies are usually well established and can easily provide support even after your roofing job is finished. The same can\u2019t be said for fly-by-night companies that you\u2019ll never see again and can\u2019t get in touch with.<\/p>\n

Second, local companies will have performed roofing work in the community, and you can ask for photos and references for jobs they\u2019ve completed nearby. And last but not least, these contractors are familiar with the weather in the area and can make the best roofing recommendations<\/em> for you based on the climate and your home\u2019s location!<\/p>\n

What Warranty Options Does the Contractor and the Roofing Manufacturer Offer?<\/h3>\n

\"roofingWhen getting a new roof<\/strong>, you need to know that your investment is going to be protected. After all, a new roof is a major purchase for most homeowners, and one that will impact the safety of your property for the foreseeable future. You need to know what warranty options your contractor offers.<\/p>\n

Every roofing company should offer both a workmanship warranty that covers the installation and labor of the roof for a specified amount of time and a manufacturer\u2019s warranty that covers your roofing materials. While these two numbers will differ, you can and should know<\/em> exactly what you\u2019re getting before investing in a new roof!<\/p>\n

Get the Best Roofing Contractor for Your Roofing Job!<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s not easy to pick the best roofing professionals in Northern Virginia<\/em>, but by taking a few simple steps and asking the right questions, you can be sure your new roof is a worthy investment and will protect your home for many years to come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
