Questions to Ask Your Roofing Contractor

Questions to Ask Your Roofing Contractor The roof of your home plays a significant role in terms of curb appeal and protection for you and your family, which is why any project regarding it should be handled by trusted professionals. If you’re searching for a roofing contractor you can trust for repairs or a replacement, it’s important that you know the questions you should ask them before deciding on the right one for the job. While you may have some specific questions depending on the state of your roof, the type of project you’re looking for, or the budget you have, these are some of the common questions that any roofing contractor should be prepared to answer:

Are You a Certified Roofing Contractor?

If a roofing contractor has any special certifications, it can indicate a high level of experience and excellence regarding their knowledge and installation work. These certifications and any accompanying recognitions also point to the contractor’s consistency, which is important for your project.

What Types of Roofs Do You Have Experience With?

This is a basic question, but it’s smart to get an idea of what types of systems your roofing contractor has worked with. Whether you’re investing in a replacement or simply a roof repair, you’re going to want the peace of mind that those working on the project have experience with your roofing type of choice.

Will You Provide an Estimate for My Roofing Project?

Throughout your search for a reliable roofing contractor to work with, you’re going to want to ask for cost estimates so that you can factor them in while making your decision. This is especially worth asking if you’re operating on a set budget.

Do You Use Subcontractors?

It’s important to know who is working on your roof. As significant as it is to the structure of your home and the property’s overall curb appeal, your roof should be handled by professionals that you can trust. If a company uses subcontractors, you should inquire about the standards those subcontractors are held to in order to be relied on for projects.

Will There Be a Supervisor Dedicated to My Project?

Having a project manager or supervisor dedicated to your roof repair or replacement is exceptionally helpful. The presence of one can give you the added confidence that your project is going to go without a hitch, allowing you to relax and remain worry-free throughout the process.

Do You Offer Any Kind of Warranty?

The best roofing contractors back their work with a generous warranty. That way, you can be sure that your investment is protected. Many roofing manufacturers offer warranties with their systems, so if a contractor offers a workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer’s product warranty, chances are high that they’re even more reliable.

Do You Have Any References I Can Contact?

This is a great question to ask, as roofing contractors who have a long list of satisfied customers should be quick to point you in the direction of someone you can talk to. If you get the chance to talk to a past customer, you can ask them about their experience, including any positives or negatives they saw throughout their project.

They removed some hardy board siding that had been exposed to lots of water and was rotten...Took old out, replaced with new, primed, caulked and painted all in one morning. Schon Holman was magnificent. He knew what he was doing, came dressed suiting the quality of work I expected, did a thorough, perfect job, left site immaculate and was professional in his conversation and demeanor. Would definitely use Schon and BACK again.

Today concludes my home updating experience with Back Construction. It is with gratitude and satisfaction I review Shohn and my kitchen transformation. There were many just in time process changes that needed Shohns' expertise and patient consideration. He approached them through an experienced eye and one by one sought a solution , never an excuse. This is a testimony to.his professionalism and attention to detail. Thanks Back Construction for choosing top quality staff. Thank you Shohn for taking care of me like you would your family.

Back Construction helped turn my rental property from the ugliest house on the street to one of the best-looking by designing and building a super-custom open gable porch roof to replace an outdated awning. The project was complicated by the need to work with multiple residents and me, the owner, but clear communication from start to finish made the process easier. They were conscientious about my budget without cutting corners on the quality, appearance, or service.

I was very pleased with Schon Holman who repaired a faucet incorrectly installed and repaired cabinet damaged by water. Back was quickly responsive to my request and adjusted original estimate when work was done. I would highly recommend Back.

Highly recommend Back Construction! They screened in part of our deck and built a pergola. The project went smooth from beginning to end. The sales manager and project manager were easy to work with and took everything into consideration. The work crew were very professional, on time and cleaned up daily. Our screened in porch has become our favorite part of the house! We will definitely be using Back Construction again.

I couldn't speak more fondly on my experience with Back Construction. We had the columns on our front porch repaired and we are extremely pleased with the workmanship. Schon Holman and Tom Gebhart were very professional.The Home was built in the 1800s and with the original columns still standing, the team took extra care in the repair and their preservation. They also were able to lift the porch and level out the roof which seemed like quite a task. Im very happy with the outcome. They even gave advice and information on the products they used for future reference. Thank you very much Back Construction. I will be recommending your work to others.
