Factors to Consider When Comparing Roofing Estimates

So, you want to get professional services from a trusted roofing contractor. You might have already contacted a few contractors and obtained free estimates from them. What’s the next step?

There are a number of things aside from the service cost that you need to consider. Don’t jump into hiring a contractor just because they offer the lowest bid.

Here are other important factors to consider when comparing roofing estimates:

Warranty– Most roofing companies automatically offer a manufacturer’s roofing warranty. Although this is a good thing, a contractor that offers a separate warranty for materials and workmanship is even better. Look for a warranty that offers at least 25-year coverage for roofing materials.

Manpower- Some estimates do not include the manpower or the labor for the roofing services. You have to watch out for this one. Not all contractors offer a fixed rate for labor. Keep in mind that skilled contractors may charge more, but their services are also more reliable and will likely save your money in the long run because you won’t be faced with premature roof failure.

Materials– Double check the type of materials that the roofing contractor uses for roofing systems. Ask for a list of the items like shingles, sealants, felt underlays and more. This way, you can check which company offers the best-quality materials.

You might also want to ask about things like insurance or licenses. Ask the contractor about all the legalities so you won’t have to regret hiring the wrong roofing specialist.
