Getting your roofing done can seem like a daunting job – especially if this is your first time having it done. Whether it’s a roof replacement or guttering, the job always seems to be big that’s because by definition it’s the surface in your home with the squarest footage.

What Should I Expect from a Roofing Contractor?

With that in mind, knowing what to expect from your roofing contractor is totally normal and there are a few key things you should be looking for when you’re making your decision.

  • Knowing who to choose
  • An estimate and consultation
  • Communication
  • Respect for your property

In this article, we’re going to look through each one of these in a bit more detail. So, let’s get started.

Knowing Who to Choose

Choosing your roofing contractor is one of the most important parts of the process. We’d advise that you try to go local for example, if you’re looking for window replacement in Milwaukee, don’t go out of state. If you’re looking for a bradenton roofing company, don’t go all the way to Orlando.

Going with a local contractor allows you to check local reputations, reduces their costs on petrol, and generally makes the process simpler for everyone involved. Additionally, you should shop around. Try to get in contact with as many companies as you can in your area.

An Estimate and Consultation

Before any work gets done on your home, there needs to be a clear roadmap as to what the end result should be. Even on smaller jobs, this is crucial, because if your expectations or goals don’t match up to the work that ultimately ends up being done then this could cause tension.

So at the outset make this very clear during the consultation. Your contractor may make suggestions, and eventually, you will arrive at a price estimate for how much the work will cost, and an approximate ETA.

We recommend getting three different quotes from different companies, comparing costs, and asking questions – this can help you identify the best fit for your job.

Communication

As one of the most important parts of your house’s structure, the roof keeps out the elements and keeps the heat in. In the process of doing your roofing work, your contractor may come across or uncover other issues or details which may need to be looked at.

Your contractor may keep you updated throughout the process on anything that they find and should let you know if there’s anything that means that the job will go over time or budget.

Likewise, it’s your responsibility to communicate what you know about your roofing situation prior to the beginning of the job and to ask if you have any doubts before problems arise.

Respect for Your Property

It can be messy work doing replacements under the best conditions, so it’s to be expected that your roofing team has respect for the property they are working in.

Every homeowner will have their own red-lines or concerns, so be clear beforehand if there’s anything that’s unavoidably in the path of the construction work that you want to be protected.

With that said, it is ultimately the responsibility of the homeowner to ensure that all of their vehicles, furniture, and other valuables have been placed out of harm’s way. This means moving vehicles to the street, covering anything that isn’t moveable with tarps, and communicating with your team.
