Not Sure What to Ask a Roofer?
When your roof shingles are disappearing faster than you can count them, then the time has come to replace your roof. This is why we at Dura Roofs in Jeffersonville, IN have put together a few helpful questions you should ask your local roofer before you sign any contract, this way you will be assured you only hire a reputable company that will do a good job.
The question you need to ask: Are you licensed?
The answer you should hear: Yes, in almost every state
Why you should hear it:
Most states now require a roofer be licensed in their state, but, every state is different. This means one code could be needed in Boston while another is needed in Nashville. So what do you do? Research all the code requirements in your region. If roofers need to be licensed in your state, only hire ones that are, this gives you some recourse in case anything goes wrong.
The question you need to ask: Do you have current workman’s comprehensive insurance?
The answer you should hear: Yes
Why you should hear it:
It used to be that employers that only had a few employees did not need workman’s compensation insurance, however, times have changed and now they do by law. However, there are some roofers that will try to get out of this requirement. The biggest reason being insurance is not cheap, and some take their chances. The problem, however, is when an employee is injured on your property, you are the one who is liable. Also, if any damage had occurred to your property when they were on the job, again, you are the one who will be forking out the money not the roofing company.
