Americans’ homes are their biggest expense. Whether purchasing one or maintaining it, there is a lot of money going into the house. The roof is probably one of the more expensive things to repair. When looking for roofing contractors, Johns Creek residents should remember these three things. Is the Company Local? Hiring a local company is not only good for the area’s economy, it also means the company will be accountable for their work. Oftentimes after severe weather, out of town companies will set up shop for a few weeks, get their money and leave. If they did a shoddy job, the homeowner will have to hire another company and pay again to have it fixed. Any repairs under warranty are also easier to resolve with a local company. Do They Have Insurance? Working on a roof can be a dangerous job. Even on a single story home, workers can be 10 feet off the ground. If the roofing company does not have workers comp insurance, any medical bills may be the responsibility of the homeowner. This is also true of any damages to the house and property. The contractor should have liability coverage that covers damages caused by their people. How Much Will It Cost? It is a good idea to get several estimates for the roof work and compare each of them. The cheapest one may not be the best option, though. Each estimate should be detailed, listing the number of labor hours and material cost. The more details in the estimate means there will not be as many surprises when work begins. The estimate will also list payment dates based on how much of the job is completed. Reputable companies will split the payments into at least two parts. The first is due at the beginning as a down payment. The second will be due after the job is completed to the homeowner's satisfaction. Most importantly, when looking for roofing contractors, Johns Creek homeowners should feel comfortable with one and trust the job will be done on time. Any hesitation about hiring a company should be used to investigate further or move on to a different company.
