Know What to Ask When Interviewing a Roofer
Roofing work necessitates careful planning. When you do the job yourself, you’ll want to ensure that you have enough time to complete the project and that you have all the materials required. If you’re short on DIY skills, your best option may be to have a roof coating contractor do the job. However, before you begin the hiring and scheduling process, here are questions you should ask during your search:
Is the company licensed?
In most states, a roofing contractor must have a license. Your state’s licensing board will have information on how to verify this information. If they’re unlicensed, they’re not allowed to offer their services in the area. So, if you do decide to hire one, make sure to ask if they’re licensed and where they’re located. Being licensed means that they’ll be held liable for any accidents that occur on your property.
What kind of insurance do they have?
While it may be tempting to save money by hiring a roofing contractor who doesn’t carry general liability insurance, you shouldn’t do it! General liability insurance provides coverage for any harm that befalls you, your family, and your property while the contractor is working on your property. If the contractor doesn’t have general liability insurance and you get injured, you could be responsible for the medical bills and any additional expenses the injury may cause. You can help prevent this from happening by asking what kind of insurance they have and if they’re willing to provide it to you.
