Choosing a Roofing Professional

A good assessment explains the problem before recommending a product or a new roof. Here are the questions worth asking.

Ask for the findings

Request photos and an explanation of shingle condition, flashing, leaks and decking concerns. Make sure you understand whether the recommendation addresses aging, damage or both.

Check local requirements

Licensing requirements vary. Verify any required license and ask for current insurance information before work starts.

Understand the proposed treatment

Ask which product is proposed, what evidence supports its use on your shingles, and what it cannot repair. Check manufacturer and insurer requirements separately.

Compare written scopes

Look beyond the total price. Compare preparation, repairs, application, weather requirements, cleanup and any written warranty terms.

You should have time to understand your options before making a decision.
