5 Things You Should Ask YourRoofing Contractor

Ask Before You Hire

• A roof gets ten to fifteen years of quiet and then costs money fast. Where is this one in that curve?
• Shingle condition doesn't tell you about the deck underneath. What did the inspection actually reach?
• More roofs leak at the flashing than in the field. How are the valleys, penetrations, and wall junctions being detailed?
• You won't know about rotten sheathing until the old roof is off. What's the per-sheet price, and who decides how many?
• Material and workmanship warranties come from different parties. Which one covers a leak at year three, and who shows up?

Verify yourself: Florida roofing requires a CCC certified roofing contractor, or a qualifying CBC, CGC, or CRC. Confirm the license, plus current liability and workers' compensation.
