But before that… Please take note that this is Part 2 of a 2-part article series, that’s why the list starts with the number 6. If you have not read Part 1 yet, visit 10 Best Questions to Ask Potential Roofing Contractors Before Hiring Them (Part 1). Just come back to this piece later on. Otherwise, you can just keep reading!
6 – What are your tools and equipment to access and work on my roof?
One of the main reasons why hiring professional roofing contractors is much better than doing the roof repairs yourself is that they have the appropriate instruments to accomplish the job! You probably do not exactly know what the tools are and how they are used even when you have them – unless you’re also a roofer yourself. Inquire, and know what tools and equipment they will use to access and work on your roof.
This is significant to assert that the workers will be very safe while doing the project. At the same time, your roof will be free from further damage or worsening issues. The necessary job will be accomplished because the necessary materials are available and will be used.
7 – What is your exact roofing process? (based on the project)
Although you may not really know and understand it, ask about the exact roofing process that the company will do on your roof. You will do this after explaining the problems your house is encountering and also after telling the firm about your requests. This allows you to determine whether the price is right or not really! Moreover, this tells you that the roofers know what they are going to do or not.
8 – How can you ensure that the rest of my property will be free from damage?
Because the roof is on top of the house, covering everything else that’s part of your abode, repairing or replacing it can affect other portions of your house, including its vicinity. Your roofer does not just know how to work on roofs; they also have plans and strategies on how to keep the rest of your property free from damage and danger. Ask how they are going to do that! Make sure they are feasible and true. This enables you to eliminate worries, to lessen financial expenses, to reduce post-roofing cleaning up and most importantly, to stay safe wherever in and around the house during the project.
9 – Can you give me an estimated time frame for this project?
Roofing projects are no joke. They are never a piece of cake. Even pro roofers sometimes scratch their heads whenever they underestimate a certain roof problem, yet it ends up becoming their worst and longest roof damage to fix. Roofers cannot always accurately say the time frame of a certain project, however you can ask for an estimate. This is necessary for you to be able to adjust your lifestyle for a bit, probably move to a different house or place for a while, or plot your calendars according to it.
10 – Do you provide a roof warranty for your projects?
Last but definitely not the least, ask whether or not they provide a roof warranty for their projects. In case you face some issues a few weeks or months after the job is done, this warranty can help you. Ask the scope and length of the roof warranty they offer. Although it would be best to never need to use it, bearing a roof warranty will keep you protected and assured anytime!
