How to Choose a Reliable Asphalt Shingle Roofing Contractor

Written By Stepfani Croteau

The time has come – you're in need of a new roof. Whether prompted by storm damage or the foresight of an upcoming replacement, the task of selecting a roofing professional lies ahead. But, don't let the process overwhelm you! Choosing the right roofer shouldn't be daunting. Instead, it should instill confidence and streamline the journey toward a new roof. In this guide, we'll share crucial insights to simplify the selection process, making it both informative and empowering.

Ask the Right Questions

Embarking on the roofer selection process entails more than pricing considerations. Treat your initial interaction with potential roofers as an interview – a chance to gauge their expertise, professionalism, and compatibility with your needs. Beyond project details, here are key questions to illuminate your selection process:

  • What is the full name and address of the company?

  • Does the company carry insurance?

  • Is the company a licensed or credentialed contractor?

  • How long has the company been in business?

  • Will the company provide referrals or references from previous jobs?

  • What is the manufacturer’s extended warranty?

  • What is the company’s track record for solving customer complaints?

Delve into the Details

Regardless of the roofing company size, a well-structured contract is a non-negotiable. Ensure it encompasses all discussed aspects and clarifies any cryptic clauses. It is important that you address any queries or uncertainties before work commences, minimizing the potential for misunderstandings down the line. Seek references as well; treat this as another facet of the interview process. Requesting references not only validates the roofer's credibility but also provides an avenue to cross-check their claims.

Verify Credentials and Reputation

Consider the roofing company's credentials a cornerstone of your evaluation. For instance, NH Grand Roofs boasts the distinction of being CertainTeed Credentialed Contractors. This distinction carries significance as it underscores our commitment to excellence. As a client, it means you can access an extended warranty covering materials, labor, tear-off, and disposal, elevating your purchase's value and your peace of mind.

Selecting the right roofer for your new roof shouldn't be a daunting task. It's an opportunity to align your needs with a professional who not only understands your project's intricacies but also simplifies the process for you. Remember to ask insightful questions, scrutinize contracts, and validate references. By doing so, you're making an informed choice that safeguards your investment and ensures the longevity of your new roof.
