Choose the Best Roofing Contractor

Do you need to hire a roofing contractor, but you aren’t sure what steps to take? The best way to start is by looking at the Homeowner Association, or the HOA. You could also try talking to your neighbors to get word of mouth referrals. Always be sure to check the contractor requirements and read their online customer reviews.

Once you complete these steps, call a few local roofing contractors and schedule some consultations. While waiting for the consultations, always look at the contractor qualifications, their prices, the reviews and their references. This will allow you to be able to negotiate bids and prices.  Then, call two or three local roofers to schedule consultations.

Check references, reviews and qualifications, compare bids and negotiate the final price. For more details, keep reading or give us a call today at 603-852-1540 for an estimate!

Qualifications of a Roofing Contractor

There are certain criteria that are needed from roofing contractors depending on the state and city. Make sure that you always check your state’s qualifications before you even begin hiring a contractor.

A good contractor will:

  • Have experience.
  • Be a licensed contractor in your area.
  • Have insurance.
  • Be bonded by a bonding company.
  • Will provide references that you ask for.
  • Will give a close estimate before starting the job.

Northland Roofing, fits all of those categories, so call us today at 603-852-1540 if you want an estimate!

What Does a Professional Roofer Do?

All roofing companies and contractors may offer different roofing services. When you decide what you need, ask the different roofers that have come to give you a consolation what services they offer. Some of the more common roofing services include:

  • Roofing inspections.
  • Checking the roof for any kind of damage or leaking.
  • Repairs or replacement of roofing materials.
  • Maintenance to your roof.
  • Weatherproofing the roof.
  • Installs insulation or ventilation.
  • Removal of ice or snow.
  • Cleans roofs such as cleaning off mold, mildew and moss and pressure washing. This can also include removing debris.
  • Making sure that the paint is sealed or treated. 
  • Painting of the roof, especially if you have metal or wood roofs.

If you are in store for a new roof or you are redoing your existing roof, this is a great time to have your contractor check the gutters and downspouts. You might find a contractor that does not only roofing but that also will do siding, window and gutter repair, replacement or cleaning. Getting your gutters cleaned or maintained when you get your roof done can save time and money, since the contractor will already be there.

Hiring the Right Roofing Contractor

There are two kinds of contractors that you might want to consider, roofing companies and independent contractors. It is best that you will compare what each offers and look at the price before making a final decision. Remember to always check the qualifications, references and reviews, no matter which you choose to hire.

Independent Roofing Contractors

Here are some pros and cons to hiring an independent roofing contractor:

  • They may take longer to complete large projects since they work alone.
  • They often have a specialized style that they do.
  • It will be the same person that comes for as long as the job is being completed.

Roofing Companies

Here are some pros and cons to hiring a roofing company:

  • They complete large jobs faster.
  • They have warranties which cover their work.
  • They often offer things such as free-consolations.
  • Sometimes have discounts from the manufacturer.
  • Offer more materials.
  • You may not see the same people during the project.
