So, your roof is damaged and it's time for a new one. Having your roof updated can be intimidating, especially if you've never had to get a replacement before. One of the biggest concerns homeowners have when getting a new roof is how much it will cost.
What you pay depends on several different
factors, like the extent of the damage and the type of materials you choose.
However, there's one secret to saving money on a new roof—and we have it here.
Get It Done Right the First Time
The secret to saving money on your new
roof isn't choosing inexpensive materials or hiring a low-priced contractor.
Quite the opposite, in fact. Homeowners will actually end up paying more over time for repairs to a cheaper
roof than if you had started with quality materials
and labor to begin with. Ultimately, the best thing you can do for your roof
(and your wallet) is to get it done right the first time.
How to Find a Quality Roofing
Contractor
When you need a new roof, it's important
to work with someone you can trust. Here are some questions to ask before
deciding who to hire:
What kind of experience do you
have with my type of roof?
It's crucial to hire a professional that
not only has plenty of experience roofing, but also specific experience working
on the same kind of roof you have. Different roofs require different
techniques, so it's a good idea to make sure the contractor you choose is
familiar with your roof structure and the type of materials used.
What licenses do you and/or your
company hold?
You should also confirm that the roofer
you choose holds the correct licenses to legally work in your area. This gives
you peace of mind that they have undergone the appropriate training to perform
the work safely and can meet all local building codes and regulations that
apply to your project.
Do you carry insurance?
Liability insurance is an absolute must
when hiring a roofing contractor. Not only does it protect you in case your
property is damaged, it protects the contractor should an accident occur.
Always ask for proof of insurance and confirm it is up-to-date and from a
verifiable provider.
What kind of warranty do your
roofs have?
A warranty can help you cover unexpected
issues after installation without incurring additional costs. At Master
Roofers, we stand by our services and provide 5-year warranties
against roof leaks on every project. We also use only the highest quality
materials that come with their own manufacturer's warranty, like GAF shingles, VELUX®
skylights, and more.
Can I get a written estimate?
It's usually best to request a written
estimate and cost breakdown of the services your roofer plans to perform before
work begins. This should give you information about the scope of work, what
materials will be used, how long it will take, and what each phase is expected
to cost. Keep this on hand so you can refer back to this as needed throughout
your project.
Do you offer financing?
A new roof is a big investment and most
people don't have the funds to cover the entire cost of the project upfront.
Financing can help you spread the cost of your roof replacement over time
without compromising on the quality of work being performed.
