What to Look for in a Roofing Contractor

While there are some projects and repairs you can do yourself in order to maintain your home or business, there are also others that are best left to the professionals. For example, if your roof needs to be repaired, replaced, or even just inspected, you will need the help of a professional roofing contractor. Our team at Midian Roofing has extensive experience in the roofing industry, and we know a thing or two about what makes a great roofing contractor. In this article, we’ll go over a few key qualities to look for in order to make sure that you are in good hands.

  • Licensing and Insurance. When hiring a roofing contractor, always check to make sure that they have the right licensing and insurance. Licensing is important because it proves that the contractor is qualified to do the work, and insurance is important to make sure that you don’t have to pay for any damages or accidents that may occur during the course of the project.
  • Strong Portfolio. When hiring a roofing contractor, it’s also a good idea to look up some examples of their past work in order to make sure it’s up to your desired standards. Most roofers now feature digital portfolios on their website, so you can easily find these records.
  • Transparency. Another key thing to look for in a roofing contractor is transparency. A reputable contractor will be honest and upfront about their pricing, their qualifications, the projected timeline, and any other needed information, and will not charge you any hidden fees.
