Regular Roof Inspections
1. Do Your Research
- Check Reviews: Look for recent Google, Yelp, or BBB reviews.
- Ask for Recommendations: Friends, family, and neighbors can give great leads.
- Verify Local Presence: Choose someone with a local office and established reputation in your area.
2. Look for Licensing & Insurance CSLB.CA.GOV
- Licensed: Make sure they're licensed to work in your state.
- Insured: They should carry both liability insurance and workers’ comp—ask to see proof.
3. Get Everything in Writing
- Contract should include:
- Scope of work
- Materials to be used
- Timeline
- Payment schedule
- Warranty info
4. Don’t Automatically Choose the Lowest Bid
- Low bids can mean low-quality materials or inexperienced workers. Choose based on value—not just price.
5. Ask About Warranties
- A reputable contractor will offer both a manufacturer warranty (on materials) and a workmanship warranty (on labor).
6. Never Pay in Full Upfront
- A deposit is fine (typically 10–30%), but final payment should only be due after the job is complete and you’re satisfied.
