Things you should know before hiring
a contractor:
Check the roofers license
(where applicable)
A roofing company who is unlicensed poses a
risk to your financial security. Roofers can expose you to significant
financial harm in the event of injury or property damage. Unlicensed
roofers usually do not have bonding or workers compensation
insurance.
A roofing company who is unlicensed may not
have the expertise and qualifications to do the job right the
first time. You could end up having to hire a licensed, reputable
contractor to correct the work-and paying for the job twice.
Check to see the roofers pocket license and
some additional form of identification. The name on the pocket
license should be the same as the name of the contractor or
business name the contractor is working under.
Check the painter's references
Check the roofing company's references, and
call them to see if they were satisfied with the contractors
work. Skilled contractors will be proud to take credit for their
work. Remember, the person you hire to work in your house will
be in and around your house until the job is completed.
You may also wish to check the roofing company
out with your local consumer protection agency, consumer fraud
unit in your city or district attorney's office, and the Better
Business Bureau. We will be glad to provide you with websites
and phone numbers of these agencies just call one of our customer
care reps or check out our links section below.
Ask the roofer the address of his or her business
location and business telephone number, and verify them. A contractor
who operates a business out of the back of a pickup truck with
a cellular telephone may be difficult to find to complete a
job or fix something that has gone wrong after the last bill
is paid.
Check the roofers workers' compensation
and liability insurance coverage. (when applicable)
Verify that the roofing company is insured
against claims covering workers compensation, property damage,
and personal liability in case of accidents. Ask to see a copy
of the certificate of insurance, or ask for the name of the
insurance carrier and agency to verify that the roofer has the
insurance.
Roofers must tell you whether or not they carry
roofers liability insurance and that it will protect against
third-party bodily injury and property damage. If uninsured,
they should be able to explain how they would cover losses that
would ordinarily be covered by insurance.
Bonds
Some bonds are designed to protect you against
substandard work that does not comply with local building codes.
Bonds do not assure the financial or professional integrity
or competency of a painting contractor.
Institutional lenders such as savings and loans,
insurance companies or commercial banks generally require roofers
to secure bonds for large jobs.
