Having to deal with a faulty or problematic roof can be
quite a daunting task. Seeing rain leak
into your home can be a scary thing to witness and is certainly an indication
that you need to find a roofer immediately.
If you want to hire a competent and trustworthy Commack roof contractor, it will likely take a bit of research and time. There are many so called contractors who do
terrible work and swindle people out of their hard-earned money. Homeowners need to take special care when
choosing a roofer, as the expenses can be quite high. So what should you be asking your roofer in
order to ease your concerns? Here are a
few questions you should ask.
Can You Provide Some
References?
Check up on your roofer's references. This is crucial to knowing how a contractor
has performed in the past. If the
contractor cannot provide any or refuses to do so, it is probably safe to stay
away.
Do You Have A
License, Insurance And Worker's Compensation?
Every contractor should say yes to all these questions. You can also ask to see a copy of an relevant
documents. Feel free to look elsewhere
if they cannot provide you with these.
What Is The Projected
Turnaround Time For The Work?
You want a clear timeline of when the work will be
completed. Try to get your roofer to
commit to a definite time that the job will take for completion.
How Much Will The
Deposit Be?
Many contractors will require some form of deposit. Be sure to find out exactly what the initial
costs will be. You should never pay the
entire cost up-front though. Simply pay
the deposit, which should be about 25 percent of the total cost, and pay the
rest once the work has been completed.
