Your roof is one of the most fundamental home investments you will make, so it's important keep it in good hands. In the event that you have roof damage and need a repair, you’ll have to seek out the right contractor to assist you with the job.

Not sure where to start? To help make this process an easier one, consider the following tips:

Ask for referrals - Before starting the search for a contractor on your own, ask friends and family for help. Make a list of who they would recommend and which contractors meet your local code requirements.

Hold phone interviews - Once you’ve put a list together of the top recommendations, make a few quick phone calls to each potential contractor and ask them these questions:
  • “Do you offer the services I’m looking for?”
  • “Can you provide me with a list of previous clients?”
  • “Are you willing to provide financial references?”
  • “How long will the project take?”
Once you receive answers, you will be able to narrow down your options and choose a company that's most reliable and better suited for your home's needs.

Recognize warning signs - Be cautious if something stands out from the ordinary. For instance, if a contractor only accepts immediate cash payment, ask them why. If the answer makes you feel uneasy, consider finding another contractor for the job.

Write up the details
- Create a contract that lists every detail of the project - payment schedule, workers' compensation payments, start and end dates, you name it! The more information you put in writing, the more you and your contractor will come to a mutual understanding and trust.
