Things you should know before hiring
a contractor:
Check the roofing contractor's license
(where applicable)
A roofing contractor who are unlicensed pose
a risk to your financial security. roofing contractors expose
you to significant financial harm in the event of injury or
property damage. Unlicensed roofing contractors usually do not
have bonding or workers compensation insurance.
Roofing contractors who are 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 roofing contractors 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 roofing contractor's references
Check the roofing contractor'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
home will be in and around your home until the job is completed.
You may also wish to check the roofing contractors 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 contractor for 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.
Make sure the roofing contractor has
workers' compensation and liability insurance coverage. (when
applicable)
Verify that the roofing contractor 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 roofing
contractor has the insurance.
Roofing contractors must tell you whether or
not they carry roofing 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 roofing contractor.
Institutional lenders such as savings and loans,
insurance companies or commercial banks generally require roofing
contractors to secure bonds for large jobs.
