Do you need your roof repaired or replaced? Finding the best roofer is harder than you might think. According to IBISWorld, the United States is home to 37,340 roofing contractors as of 2023. Next time you need to hire a roofer, here's what you should look for.
Licensing and Insurance
Whenever you're hiring a contractor, it's smart to check for licensing and insurance. Most states require roofing licenses, and insurance is a good way to make sure you're covered if something happens to your house. Any reputable roofer will be happy to show you proof that they're licensed and insured.
Experience
While you're searching, take a look at some roofers' websites to see how long they've been in business. Roofers have to do good work to stay in business for a long time, and that experience also means they'll know how to tackle the unique challenges your roof presents.
Previous Projects
If you want to find the best roofer for your project, take a look at some of the previous projects local roofers have done. Whether you're looking for minor roof repairs or a full roof replacement, you know you're getting quality work when you hire a roofer who has relevant examples of their work.
Cost
Replacing or repairing your roof can be expensive, so get a quote before you commit to anything. You can call your local roofer and ask them how much they'd charge based on the square footage of your home and the type of roof you need. A truly great roofing company will offer free inspections and estimates.
Warranties
If there's a problem with your roof a few months after it's installed, you shouldn't have to pay to repair or replace it. Look for a roofer that offers a warranty on their work so you can call them up if there's a defect or an installation problem. You can usually find information about these warranties on a roofer's website.
From roof repairs to full roof replacements, your roof is a big investment. You don't want to hire just any contractor to fix your roof, so spend some time researching and calling around. If you want to skip the hassle and hire the best roofer for your home, contact MJB Trades Inc to get a quote today.
