Most homeowners will hire a roofing company once or twice in their lives. Very few people have experience hiring a roofing service. In order to give you some insight, we put together 5 tips that will help you make a better decision when going through the process of finding the right company.
Comparing Roofing Companies – “Apples to Apples”
Everyone wants to “compare apples to apples,” but it is difficult to compare service-based businesses that way. Simply comparing spec sheets and prices will not tell the whole story.
Zoom out and look at the entirety of the industry and customer reputation, workmanship warranty, credit standing, and transparency of each contractor. Then factor in price and spec sheet as part of the overall picture.
Watch Out for Dropping Prices
You want a company that is transparent and straightforward. Every roofing company should be accountable for the original bid they present to you. A roofing company worth hiring is one that is always consistent and fair with its pricing. A good roofing company will always put its best price forward, right from the start.
Too Many Roofing Bids
If you are getting five or more bids, what exactly is it you are looking for?
Buying a new roof is a big decision, and excessive bids most often lead to confusion, frustration, and sometimes even regret. We recommend getting three bids from reputable, residential-only roofing companies.
Show Them the Door
If the pressure to buy is too high, the price is also too high.
Most roofing companies that employ high-pressure sales tactics will not follow up with you if you do not hire them on the spot. This is because they know that when you get other bids, you will discover that their bid is unreasonably high.
Don’t Fall into the “Exclusive” Trap
Do not hire a roofer who overemphasizes one specific detail of the installation.
Most often, this tactic is used to create an illusion of exclusivity while adding little to no real value. You should hire a roofing company based on its overall value and reputation.
