Roof Lux of Central Missouri

Do you need roofing repair? Or are you considering a roof replacement? When you need a new roof it is typically one of the larger investments you will put into your home or commercial property. And sometimes, even relatively simple roofing repairs can be costly.

Consequently, making these decisions can be difficult. And especially so in small-town and rural areas across central Missouri, because it can be challenging to find a roofing contractor or company that you can trust. The number one complaint we hear around the area is that roofing contractors are not dependable or reliable when it comes to returning phone calls and keeping commitments regarding scheduling. And we hear story after story about roofers who don’t show up when they say they will or won’t return phone calls. We’ve heard horror stories of those who receive a down payment and then abandon the homeowner.

There are plenty of decisions to be made throughout the process including who to hire, what roofing materials to invest in, and even what sort of process should be used.

Here are some helpful guides to keep in mind when trying to find and hire a roofing contractor.

Proper business licensing is important.

Your first order of business is to learn whether the roofing company has obtained a business license to operate in your area. Oddly, this seems to vary from one company to the next. But for your purposes, licensing will help validate whether the roofing contractor is recognized by your city or state. And while you are in this part of the vetting process, be sure to learn whether the company offers insurance as well. This is another very important business practice to help protect you and your home. While you’re at it, it’s a good idea to request proof of this information.

Do your research and check references.

The Better Business Bureau website offers valuable information on companies. Particularly those who have been reported. This is a great place to start. Still, you will want to search a little more deeply. In addition, you will want to follow up with the references provided by the roofing contractor.

Will they reveal to you locations of work done locally that you can check up on? Would you be able to speak with others about the work they have done? Then if the contractor can’t provide you with references, try to discover why not. This may offer you a warning sign.

Request an estimate.

One very effective way to learn about the roofing company and the services they may provide to you is to obtain an estimate. Be sure this is done in writing and is signed. A reputable company may offer this in contractual form. Some of the important information you should glean from an estimate would include the following:

• What quality and types of roofing materials will the contractor secure for you, and from where?
• Is there a price breakdown for the project? Roofing material (like shingles, metal, etc.), replacement sheathing, venting, etc.
• What processes are being done? Re-roofing (over the top of existing shingles?), tear-offs (tearing off the old shingles), patching, structural repairs, etc?
• How long will the entire project take?
• Who will actually be doing the roofing work for you?
• Who will supervise the roofing project?

Size up the estimate.

The estimate can provide you a nice gauge to help you measure the roofing company’s dependability, expertise, and warranties for their work. What does the contractor bring to the table that demonstrates to you that they are sufficiently qualified to work with? Likewise, you can get a feel for the roofing company’s actual workmanship through your examination of their other jobs and evaluating and comparing their estimate. Are they helpful and responsive to your inquiries or do they seem like they are not too keen on answering your questions or listening to what you have to say?

So you will have much to consider when choosing a professional roofing contractor to manage your commercial or residential roof repair. Please be sure to carefully vet Roof Lux and any other roofer you may consider. And make certain you hire a company that is able to make the best impression on you with regard to professionalism, attention to detail, and quality workmanship.
