What To Ask When Hiring a Roofing CompanyUncategorizedIn this article, weâre going to be covering â What to ask when hiring a roofing company. As a homeowner, whenever youâre considering hiring a roofing contractor, you must place quality first. Hereâs the deal: I donât think itâs any secret that investing in a new roof can be quite expensive. So you want to make sure whoever installs your new roof does it ârightâ the first time. Thatâs why spending some time on due-diligence and researching a qualified roofing company is so critical. If done properly, it will ensure the investment youâve made in your roof offers the level of value and quality relative to the price youâre paying. Here at HC Roofing, itâs all too often we speak to homeowners who thought they were getting a bargain on their new roof but instead ended up with a lemon. And any pleasure they took from snagging such a great deal is quickly doused by costs associated with fixing the poor quality workmanship or lack of warranty, which accompanied the bargain roof they ultimately purchased. Thatâs why doing your due diligence before hiring a roofer isnât something that should be glossed over. Therefore, when conducting your research and due diligence, getting quotes and checking out the marketplace to see which roofing contractor stands out, there are several things you want to keep in mind. THE doâs and donâts of Hiring a Roofing Company1. Take Your Time Selecting a Roofing CompanyTake your time when selecting a roofer; donât allow yourself to hurry during the decision-making process. That means not rushing in and hiring the first contractor you come across (or worse, the first roofing contractor who knocks on your door.) Take your time and definitely DO NOT allow ANY roofing contractor to hurry you. Moreover, if any roofing contractor is attempting to push you to hire them faster than you feel comfortable, itâs a serious red flag. Listen, any legitimate roofing contractor isnât going to be worried whether it takes you a few more days or an additional week to make your selection. Furthermore, any real roofing contractor who offers high-quality service isnât going to be worried whether you hire them now⦠or in three weeks. 2. Request Quotes from a Few Different Roofing CompaniesAfter youâve received a few quotes from different contractors, compare them and see how they differ and vary. Look at the difference in price, the materials theyâll be using, the level of service they offer, unforeseen costs you hadnât anticipated etc. Seeing the proposals will allow you to get a far more in-depth understanding of the value each roofing contractor is bringing to the table. 3. Communication with the CompanyHow a roofing company communicates with you from the beginning is often an excellent representation of how theyâll complete the job.
All the answers to these questions will provide you with surprisingly accurate insight into what this company will be like to deal with throughout the roofing project and beyond into the warranty period. 4. Do Some Background Research Into The Companies Youâre ConsideringMake sure you look into each of the companies. Check them out online, read their reviews, ask your friends, and check the companyâs business address. 5. How Quickly Can They Schedule Your Roof Replacement?Although not always the case, inquiring about how quickly a roofing contractor can schedule your installation date could tell you more than just the potential day you could have a new roof. 6. Is Your Roofing Company Properly Licensed?Before you start working with ANY roofing contractor, ensure they are properly licensed, certified and insured to be doing the project in the first place. For instance, if the province or state you live in requires contractors licensing, make sure the roofer youâre considering has the proper license. Hereâs the thing: Any roofing company that has the proper licenses and insurance will have no problem showing them to you, so donât be worried or scared to ask for it. Itâs crucial that as a homeowner, you make sure youâre working with a qualified contractor for your own protection. Keep in mind that in some provinces and states, no license is required. One of those areas is actually Ontario, Canada, where HC Roofing is located. The problem is that this leads to fly-by-nighters and hucksters praying on unaware homeowners to make a quick buck. But because there are no rules, regulations, or governing body, there is little recourse and very few options for the homeowners who hire an outfit like this. Here are some things you should request of any roofing company youâre considering hiring (and make sure you visually see each of them.)
But keep in mind, the contractorâs license does not mean the work completed by the contractor will be of high quality. It only provides proof the contractor is licensed to be working, which will be very important for your property in case of an accident. Now you know some of the most critical steps to take when hiring a roofing company. This isnât by any means an exhaustive list, but will dramatically increase the likelihood you hire a qualified expert. But letâs go a little further. OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN HIRING A ROOFING CONTRACTORRoofing Project Job Site Clean UpWhen you receive a quote from a roofing contractor, make sure the post-job cleanup is included. Dumpster / Refuse Container PlacementDuring a roof replacement, the old roof must be torn off. That means a lot of material will be coming off your roof and will need to go somewhere. Some roofing companies use dump trucks and trailers, while others have a dumpster or rented bin dropped off at your home before the job begins. I canât tell you how many times weâve heard about homeownerâs driveways, walkways, and gardens being destroyed because of these heavy dumpsters being placed haphazardly on the homeownerâs property. Ask each roofing company how they remove the material from the roof tear-off and what precautions they take to protect your home and property. Roofing Project Weather ProtectionAny roofing contractor youâre considering should have a strategic plan in the event unpredictable weather forces them to stop roofing mid-project. Also, what will happen in the event bad weather doesnât allow them even to begin the project? How quickly can you expect for your roofing project to be rescheduled? a question you canât forget to askTHE ROOF WARRANTYAs a homeowner, you want to make sure you have a crystal clear understanding of how your roofâs warranty coverage and protection works. PRO ROOFING TIPIn some cases, the roofing company may offer (or you may request) a âcash jobâ to save money on taxes. Outside of this being illegal, if you decide youâre going ahead with a cash job, you need to get complete clarification on how this will impact your warranty. Since no taxes are being paid, the company cannot provide you with any purchase documentation. The problem is, purchase documentation is required by the roofing material manufacturer to offer a warranty. Plus, purchase documentation is required from the consumer to claim their warranty protection. Make sure you understand how a âCash Jobâ could impact you later down the road. a quick summary of the steps to take when hiring a roofing contractorBelow are steps to follow when hiring a contractor who is a professional during the roofing quote process.

We experienced an urgent situation with our roof. Bobby was awesome. He returned the call right away and then made immediate efforts to address the problem. He showed up the next day on time and he had all necessary items with him to fix the problem. No unnecessary delay or getting jerked around. He was more than fair with the costs. Always great to find hard working and honest trades that still understand service and being fair about their pricing. I have recommended him to everyone that asks me if I know anyone in the roofing trade and I am happy to continue to do so.

HC Roofing did a great job on our flat roof. It was leaking badly and no one could figure out why until Bobby and his team were on it. Now it's a beautiful brand new water tight flat roof!

Bobby came out to help with our siding. He and his crew did the work on time and they took care to make sure that we could reuse the siding already installed after they fixed the issue. They did a great job for a good price. I wouldnât hesitate to recommend HC Roofing to anyone.

Bobby and his team are great. They are professional and helpful. We had a few shingles come off and they came out, even with snow on the roof, and fixed it. They also did an inspection while they were up there. I would recommend them if you need roof work.

Many thanks to Bobby and his crew for taking care of my roof on two separate occasions! The first was to put in a temporary tarp that saved my kitchen from flooding. The second was to replace the entire roof at the end of the year (shingles as well as all of the wood underneath). I appreciate everyoneâs willingness to work through inclement weather in order to get the job done!

Bobby took an emergency call to fix damaged shingles on our roof that caused a leak in our bedroom. Every other company we reached out to was unavailable because of the snow, but Bobby reached us quickly and fixed our problem ASAP. Would definitely recommend his services and would use him again in the future.
