It’s not every day, month, or year you have a new roof installed on your property. But when this happens, you tend to feel good. Before you recruit a roofing contractor, there are several essential things you need to take into consideration. They include things like:
Insurance
Any roofing company you pick, whether for a new roof or roof restoration, must possess a valid insurance. The first is liability insurance; it protects your property in the event; there is damage resulting from the contractor or their employees.
The second is the worker’s compensation insurance. This will protect you if the contractor or one of his team members gets injured on your property. If they don’t have it, you may find yourself liable.
License
Just like with the insurance, the roofing contractor must be dully licensed before setting foot on your roof. Anyone can claim to be a contractor, but you could be opening yourself to financial harm without the agent having a license.
Should the “contractor” have an accident while on the job, the Contractors Board won’t be in a position to assist you in resolving any dispute with the contractor.
Guarantee
Most roofing supplies come with guarantees, so should the roofing contractor. Any work done on the roof, whether restoration or installing a new roof, should come with a guarantee. Ensure that you have it on paper.
It should cover poor workmanship, defective materials, and against leaks. Additionally, the guarantee should stipulate what shall be done to rectify any issue where the warranty isn’t fulfilled.
