Communication

Staying informed.  Don’t hesitate to ask the contractor plenty of questions throughout the process.  An ethical roofer should take the time to fully educate you.

Roof Inspection

Start with a thorough inspection to assess the current condition of your roof. This will identify any existing issues and help determine if a full replacement is needed.

Roofing materials

Become aware of and familiar with roofing material options like asphalt shingles, metal, or flat, low-slope roofing. Each has pros and cons in terms of cost appearance, durability, and energy efficiency.

Manufacturer Warranties

Quality roofing systems come with robust manufacturer warranties often up to 50 years that cover both materials and workmanship. Make sure you understand the warranty coverage.

Contractor Certification

Hire a roofing contractor that is factory-certified by the manufacturer. This demonstrates they have the proper training and expertise to install the system correctly.

Code Requirements

Be aware of any local building code or homeowners association requirements that may impact your roof replacement, such as wind resistance, ratings, or specific material restrictions.

Permit Process

See if a permit is required in your area and what the process entails before the work can begin.
