With the arrival of cooler weather in the Charleston area, you certainly want your home to be ready to handle the elements. Perhaps you’ve had your heating system tuned up and air sealed your windows and doors to save energy and improve comfort. Don’t forget about the vital home system above you that protects your entire home and loved ones, too! If you’re not sure where to turn to make sure you choose the right Charleston local roofer, read on and consider these tips.
Best Business Practices
Any time you invite a contractor to work on your home, you want to protect yourself financially. If an accident or property damage occurs, you may be left financially responsible. Ensure your contractor is bonded, licensed and insured. Always select a local Charleston roofing contractor that is legal and transparent in their business dealings. Further, be sure to confirm that their liability and worker’s comp insurances are up to date.
Professional Qualifications
Your roofer should be recognized for excellence in roofing services and customer satisfaction in your local area and within the roofing industry. Factory certifications from GAF and CertainTeed, North America’s leading roofing and siding manufacturers, are important distinctions in the roofing industry that prove a contractor’s trustworthiness and business practices. Check with your Charleston Better Business Bureau to see how your roofing contractor rates.
Emergency Service
Wind-driven storms, hail, fallen tree limbs, snow, and ice — harsh weather from time to time is inevitable. If roofing damage occurs to your Charleston area home, knowing that you have a reliable and trustworthy roofing contractor to call for emergency repairs can reduce your stress and worry. Choosing your contractor now helps get your roof back to pre-damage condition faster.
Roof Warranties
A roof warranty gives you peace of mind that the services you are paying for are backed by not only your Charleston contractor, but by the manufacturers of the products that are used for your roof. Keep in mind that a manufacturer warranty is not automatic, nor is it built into the roofing services your contractor provides. Manufacturer warranties are typically only available through certified roofing contractors, such as those that are GAF Master Elite certified.
