How to get a Roof Estimate

Homeowners should also look for roofing professionals that are able to give free estimates for both repair and replacement projects. A comprehensive estimate will offer piece of mind knowing that there will be no surprises along the way. The estimate should cover the labor and material costs, an outline of the proposed work to be done, and a solid time frame in which the project will be completed.

What is the True Cost?

A consumer should inquire as to what may be expected from them financially. What will be expected up front for initial materials and labor? How and when will the balance be delivered? The more questions that can be answered up front the better. As a tip, you should try to find a company that will not require a deposit and that will only require payment once the job is completed to your satisfaction. Companies that work this way can be tough to find, but they exist.

Pick Good Quality Materials

Don’t skip on the materials. A 20 year roof will be less expensive from a material standpoint, than a 30 or 40 year roof. Remember when it is time to pick materials how the rating of the roof will impact you. Are you planning on living in this house for 5-10 years, or are you in it for the long run? A local roofing contractor with experience and a solid history will ensure that your roof repair or replacement is done right, with the right materials, and done right the first time. Reputable contractors will use quality materials, and will not cut corners that may jeopardize the project.

Should I get Roof Repair of Replacement?

It really depends on the severity of the repair and how much the roof has depreciated. An experienced consultant will be able to give you an estimate for how long the remainder of the roof has left. From there it is an easier decision to see if repairing makes sense, or if you should consider a full replacement. Use caution when only considering roof repairs. Don't settle for an inexpensive handy man who is only passing through town. No matter what the scope of the project may be, professional guaranteed work is the only option for homeowners.
