PLANO ROOFING CONTRACTOR

Hiring Plano roofing contractor

Roofing services are in high demand, especially around this time of the year. The good news is that there are plenty of roofing contractors to meet the demand. The bad news is, not all contractors are reliable. This is why it’s so important that a homeowner does his/her research and conducts a small interview to help narrow the search down to a few reliable roofing contractors. Here’s some advice to help you find the best Plano roofing contractor for your project:

Research 

You can ask family and friends, look through the Yellow Pages, or nowadays, find them on the internet. Having a website is usually a promising sign of a company’s reputability. In addition, they tend to have a lot more information than any other channel of search.

Check reviews, as well as how long the business has been around. Reviews can help give you some sort of proof of a happy customer base. The number of years in business shows a company’s sustainability. If it’s been in business for over 20 years, for instance, you can assume that the company is credible (in terms of experience).

You might even be able to find objective reviews. Websites like Glassdoor, Yelp, and BBB (Better Business Bureau) are great options to find business reviews. Companies are rated and most review websites will show customer reviews, in part.

You should be able to find at least three roofing contractors in Plano, TX who you’re impressed after your research. After reseach, you can move onto the next step–the interview –with the contractors .

Interview

The interview is an opportunity to narrow down your options even further and get to know your options for Plano roofing contractors from a face-to-face perspective. Listed below are some important questions ask all potential contractors:

• Are you registered with the city of Plano as a general contractor?
• Are there any permits which will be necessary for the project?
• What type of guarantee are you offering?
• Do you have references and/or evidence of work that I can take a look at?

In particular, you want to make sure that no liability comes back to you in the case that roofing or roof repair work isn’t done properly or if a worker gets injured on the job. You want to make sure that everything is fine from a legal standpoint.

Get Estimates

There’s nothing wrong with multiple estimates for your roofing project. In fact, it’s recommended. Getting multiple estimates allows you to compare prices and help further narrow down your options based on affordability. Unfortunately, there are contractors out there who try to give you ridiculous prices with hopes that their estimate will be the only one you ask for. Additionally, some companies will offer “discounts” that expire way too quickly, and some might even expire the moment they leave the premises. Ultimately, you want a reasonable price from Plano roofing contractor whose ability you’re confident in.

Plan

Finally, discuss the overall plan. Discuss materials needed, itemized payments, payment strategies, timeline. Most reputable roofing companies in Plano will offer payment plans where you can pay for certain parts of the job as they are completed. Essentially, you’d pay installments after certain checkpoints are reached and the job completed properly.

Narrow down a deadline for the project. It’s important to account for potential weather delays, but generally speaking, it should only take between 2-5 days to replace roofing. Just make sure that you and your contractor are on the same page and that all details are explicitly written in the contract.
