Questions To Have Ready For Your Appointment With A Roofing Contractor

Katelyn Lewis • May 23, 2022

How do you choose the best roofer for your project?

Planning, budgeting, and hiring a roofing contractor or roofing company for a roof repair or roof replacement project can be stressful and nerve-racking. You’re not expected to be a roofing expert yourself, so come prepared with questions.


We recommend you get clear answers on the following during your appointment:


1.) What is your company's process for installation, clean up, and inspection?


2.) What is your company's current schedule or timeline for starting and completing projects? How long would it take, once the contract is signed, for my roof to be fixed or installed?


3.) What payment terms and/or financing options do you have available?


4.) What product choices are available for my project?


Gathering this information will ultimately make you feel more comfortable about the process of repairing or replacing your roof by answering any unknowns and relieving any stressors you may have.
