The time to repair your roof is before it leaks or when you notice a very small leak. Leaks don’t go away. They continue to allow water to seep under the shingles and do damage to the roof and ceiling, even if you don’t see it happening. No matter if you need a small leak repaired or to replace the entire roof, hiring the right Roofing San Antonio company for the job is essential. An honest, knowledgeable and experienced roofing company can save you time and money. Following this checklist of items will help determine the right roofer for your particular job.
Get references for a roofer from family, friends and neighbors. A roofer that is recommended usually will do a good job for you, as he did for your neighbor. Get additional references from the company. A good roofing company should be able to give you a list of a few local clients they’ve recently done work for. Speak to them, look at their roofing job. Make sure they were satisfied, before you make a decision to use the company. Also check with the Better Business Bureau to make certain there are no complaints against them that have not been satisfactorily rectified.
Verify the roofers liability insurance policy and business license. Ask for a copy of the certificate of insurance to be issued in your name before they start the job at your home. Roofing in San Antonio can be a dangerous job and it’s important that you protect yourself in the event a roofer gets hurt. If the roofer doesn’t have proper insurance, you could be liable if someone where injured. Protect yourself by verifying their insurance coverage. To make sure the roofer is licensed, call the local County Professional licensing board to verify their paperwork. It’s simple to do and should only take a moment but very important in case an issue arises. A licensed and insured roofer is more apt to do the job right, as their credentials are on the line.
If you follow these suggestions, the chances of hiring a responsible roofer will be much greater than they will be by picking someone out of the phone book who gives you a good price. A little research will work to your advantage. Do your homework first and you will get a great roof that will last many years on your home.
