Choosing a roofing contractor in Coral Springs, FL can be difficult. If you don’t know where to start, it can be very time consuming. You know that you want to hire a licensed roofer who will repair your roof and get it done in a good amount of time. However, you don’t know how to select one roofer in Broward County from all of the many roofers available to contract. Here are some tips that may help you in choosing the right roofer for you.
- Make sure that the roofing contractor you are thinking about hiring has a state license. It is required by State Law that all roof installations be done by a licensed contractor in Florida. Look for the license number. It should be advertised somewhere on the roofer’s truck or paperwork.
- Find out if there are any specific requirements you need to have. You can find out what requirements are needed, if any at your county building department. Check to see if you need a contractor history as well.
- Check for contractor references. Contractors with good reputations have references of work they have done in the past. Determine whether they claim to be a “New” contractor or “Out of the area” contractors.
- Obtain written estimates from a few contractors before deciding on one. Under no circumstances should you accept verbal commitments or verbal quotes. Ask the contractor specific questions such as: how many employees do you have? Are they employees or subcontractors? How many years have they been in the roofing business? Get all the important facts about each roofer.
- Keep an eye out for sale pitches and dishonesty. If the contractor uses words like “fastest” and “cheapest” when he talks about his work, it may be possible that hiring them may result in a poor job. Watch out for unmarked vehicles; that may be a sign of dishonesty or a scam artist. Make sure that the contractor has a physical address for his business address. It may be suspicious if they provide a post office box for an address.
- Make sure that the roofing contractor has the proper insurance. Professional and licensed roofers will have will them the proper insurance to cover both their employees and their customers. When you ask the contractor to see their insurance, you can also verify it with the listed insurance agent.
- Once you have chosen a roofer in Broward, double check that the roofing contractor has all of the building permits he will need. Local building officials must inspect the home that will be getting tile repairs or any other roof repairs or installations. Prior to giving the final payment to the contractor, ask to see the permits and proof that all the inspections were done.
- Look over the contact carefully. Contracts should have the contractor’s name, address, telephone number, state license number, and a valuable and detailed description of the work that will be completed. Contracts should also include a schedule and list of materials that will be used, as well as cleanup provisions and warranty agreements.
