Choosing a Roofing Contractor

Before installing a new roof or having repairs or rennovations made, it is important to
carefully evaluate the contractor to assure the job is done properly. Below are things
you may consider in choosing a contractor:

  • Check for a permanent place of business, telephone number, and tax
    identification number.
  • Look for a company with a proven track record that offers client references and
    a list of completed projects. Call these clients to find out whether they were
    satisfied.
  • Insist on a detailed, written proposal and examine it for complete descriptions
    of the work to be done, itemized prices including exact square counts and
    payment procedures.
  • Have the contractor list the roofing manufacturers with which his firm is a
    licensed or approved applicator. Some roof systems require special
    application expertise to achieve lasting quality.
  • Have the contractor explain the project supervision and quality control
    procedures.  Request the name of the person who will be in charge of your
    project, how many workers will be required and estimated completion time.
  • Check to see if the contractor is a member of any local or state industry
    associations like the North Texas Roofing Contractors Association and the
    Roofing Contractors Association of Texas.  Being a member of industry
    associations demonstrates a commitment to professionalism.
  • Contact your local Better Business Bureau to check for complaints filed against
    the contractor.
  • Carefully read and understand any roofing warranty offered, and watch for
    provisions that would void it.  D. Bassett Roofing & Repair offers a 5 year
    Workmanship Warranty for all re-roofing projects.
  • Be skeptical about lowest bids or those considerably lower than the others
    written for the same work.  If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.  Many
    below-cost bids seem attractive, but these contractors often perform
    substandard work. Remember, price is only one of the criteria for selecting a
    contractor.  Professionalism, experience and quality workmanship should also
    weigh heavily in your decision.
