Homeowners need to make sure that the roofing contractor they are looking to hire is licensed, bonded, and fully insured. This also means that your roofing contractor should also have liability insurance and workman’s compensation. To ensure that all of this is covered and to learn more about your prospecting roofing contractor, you can visit http://www.cslb.ca.gov/ and enter their license number.

 

Whoever your roofing contract may be at the end, they should be able to prove to you that he and his crew are more than capable to handle your roofing needs. If possible, make sure to ask for referrals from other homeowners that have re-roofed with the contractor you are thinking of going with. Also, make sure that your roofer is also familiar with the particle product you are choosing for your roof.

 

The best time to decide if you need a new roof is when noticing that the existing roof material is starting to show its age and begins to leak. If your roof is made up of wood shake, start looking for curled, splitting shakes that looked weathered or are not holding the nail very well. If your roof is made up of asphalt roof, then look out for lost granules or curling shingles. However, nothing beats having a trained roofing professional inspect your roof for any imperfections (big and small).

 

There are many roofing manufactures to provide some great website on your selection process, but some go above and beyond by offering you more information on the re-roofing experience. Your roofing contractor of choice, should be able to guide you in this roofing process, step-by-step, while answering any questions that you may have.

 

The more you involve yourself in the roofing material selection, the better, because at the end of the day you will need to be comfortable with the final product that gets placed on your roof. There are some roofers that only know how to do one type of roofing and could possibly decide not to show you the other possibilities that are out there. During the screening process, make sure that your asking a lot of questions to see if your roofing contractor knows the product well enough.

 

The only sure way to find out is to have a reputable roofing contractor come out to your home and do a full evaluation of your roof. Your contractor should be giving you their honest feedback and suggestions on what to do next.
