Tips on How to Get the Best Estimate from a Residential Roofing Company
A roof repair or the installation of a new roof is a massive investment on the homeowners part, which is why it is extremely important to choose the right residential roofing company. We, at Romero's Roofing of Indio, CA, have seen homeowners time and time again make the mistake of hiring a residential roofer that gives them the lowest bid. Should you be planning to hire a team for your roofing installation or repair, try following the tips we have provided below.
Make sure you get a minimum of 3 roofing estimates
By doing this, it will help to make sure you find the best possible price and company. NEVER choose the first contractor you come across. Choose various different businesses after you have taken recommendations from friends, family, and neighbors. Plus, make sure you get references from each company before you hire anyone.
Your roofer should first inspect your roof before they can provide you with an estimate. In addition to your roof’s size and pitch, the following factors can also affect the estimate: layers of shingles which need removing and replacing, damage to your roof’s decking, and water damage to your roof.
Part of your contractor’s estimate will be the price of the roofing materials. But, most contractors do include a markup. However, because a few contractors can get somewhat carried away with their markup, it’s important that you contact the suppliers to find out exactly how much the materials will actually cost. This should help you determine if the markup is reasonable. When a contractor informs you they will get you their estimate by next Tuesday, but doesn’t get it to you until the next Friday, this is usually a reflection of their work ethic. Everyone wants a contractor that stands by their word.
