Choosing A Roofer

Castle Roofing Construction and Repair, Tucson Arizona

How to choose a roofer for your home or commercial building?

Here are just a few questions you should ask before making an informed decision on which roofer you will hire:

How long have you been working in the roofing industry? A good indication of quality workmanship is if their customers are happy. If so, they typically have stayed in the business for a long time. Listen to the way they communicate with you. Are they professional and have extensive knowledge of roofing?

How long do you expect the job to take? Having a new roof installed or repaired is a big job. You don’t need a team of unreliable roofers dragging the process out any longer than it needs to be. Is the job going to be finished on time or will there be delays?

• Do you have a current contractor’s license? Ask them to provide you with their Registrar of Contractors license number. You can then go to http://www.azroc.gov/forms/contractorsearch.html and enter their license number to see if their license is current and if there are any complaints.
• Are you insured?
• Do you have references we can call? (if they cannot provide any right away, that is a red-flag)
• What materials will you be using? (after your meeting, research those materials on the web)
