A new roof for your home or business is a major investment. While most roofs last for more than a decade, it is still a one-time expense that can leave property owners feeling nervous about choosing an installer. You are wise to choose your roofer carefully, as you want to be sure your new roof is beautiful and functional for years to come. If you are wondering how to choose a professional roofer in the northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin area, here are a few things to consider during your search.
Business Longevity
When you choose a professional roofer, always check for how long they have been in business. You don’t want to commit to working with a roofing professional who will be gone in a few years. Instead, you want to be sure you can call if you have questions or need repairs for years to come.
Referrals and Word of Mouth Advertising
Don’t choose a professional roofer who cannot give you photos of past jobs as well as a list of customers you can call for a referral. If they don’t have a list of happy customers who are willing to give you the lowdown about their experience, they probably are not worth working with. You want someone who gets customers via word of mouth advertising from family, friends, and neighbors.
Licensed, Bonded and Insured
Be sure to ask if the roofer you are considering is licensed, bonded, and insured. This step protects you and your home.
Variety of Options
Finally, choose to work with a professional roofer that gives you a variety of options for roof styles and materials. Your roofer should be able to guide you during the design process and offer helpful tips to make sure you choose the materials and style that best suits your home. Further, your roofing professional should be experienced in working with and installing the materials you choose.
