Questions For Your Contractor: Roof Installation

March 18, 2017 | Filed under: Newsletter Articles

We hope that you are enjoying our series of e-newsletters on things that influence the performance and value of your home’s roof. In January, we looked at Ventilation and, last month, we discussed Energy Efficiency and Solar Collection. This month, we want to address how important proper installation is to your home’s roof. We will give you ideas on what questions to ask your contractor, and how to choose the right contractor for your home.

Why Choosing the Right Contractor is Critical

Unfortunately, most states have few or no regulations regarding roofing contractors and installers, nor do they have building code requirements pertaining to roofing.

Because the cost of entry into the roofing profession is fairly low, the industry is full of folks who are not properly trained, as well as a few folks who are downright deceptive. Choosing a contractor who will do a professional job is critical.

Don’t risk a contractor who does not have professional installation practices.

So, where do you start? We have created a special tool to help you evaluate and choose a roofing contractor. Organized into 3 sections, the detailed instruction for evaluation and 44 Questions include:
