Do not immediately accept the lowest bid that you receive. Good roofing contractors are not afraid to factor in good quality materials, appropriate man hours, and reasonable ‘experience’ pay. You want to find a contractor who will be honest and up front about what the project is going to cost and how long it will take, as well as being confident enough to charge what they need to complete the job from the initial bidding, not to wait until they have taken off your roof only to add more money onto the cost to put it back on.

This is often your gut telling you that you shouldn’t hire them, and you may end up regretting it later on. A good contractor is not going to hold it against you if you just have an off feeling. You need to be able to feel comfortable communicating with the contractor in order to get the best result for your roof.
In the same line, ask for references and don’t be afraid to actually check the references that the roofing contractor has given you. Roofing contractors should have several business related references. Even if they are just starting out with their own company, they should be able to offer you a reference of other roofing companies or contractors where they worked or apprenticed before starting their own company.
Getting a new roof on your home is an important part of maintaining your investment, and hiring the right person and company to install your new roof is the most important step in investing wisely.
