We’ve all heard the story of the homeowner whose roof warranty was no good because the roofing company was no longer in business. The roofing industry has a failure rate of 80%, and homeowners can avoid common pitfalls by being prudent in the selection process. Here are three things to know before hiring a roofing company:

  • :: 1 :: Know the age of the company
      An established roofing company will have already proven they’ll be there to take your call should you need to exercise your warranty. Verify this by performing a search on the Georgia Secretary of State website. It will tell you if the company is registered with the state and the year of its inception. With a failure rate of 80%, it is crucial not to take this step lightly, and the process only takes a couple of minutes. You’ll have peace of mind knowing you haven’t chosen a start-up company to handle your roofing project. What good is a 5-year warranty if the company is only months old?
  • :: 2 :: Know where they are licensed
      Ask your contractor where they are licensed and call to verify.
  • :: 3 :: Know they are insured
      Verify this by requesting a certificate of insurance from your contractor and calling the number on the COI. They can determine if the policy is current.

These verification steps take no more than 10 minutes and can safeguard you from future costs and headaches.
