Selecting a Roof Contractor in Bryant, Arkansas

Avoid roofing contractors that don't have proper credentials

Finding quality Little Rock roofing contractors should be simple, but it's complicated by the fact that there are a lot of unprofessional roofers in Bryant and in nearly every other town in America. These "fly-by-night" roofing companies sometimes operate like this:

• Offer a very low quote to get you're business
• Cut corners to reduce roofing costs or come up with excuses as to why the roof ended up costing more than planned
• Offer excuses as to why they don't have their license or insurance certificate available... then never quite get around to producing those documents
• May use illegal or undocumented workers
• May use improper roof installation techniques due to inexperience, lack of training, and corner cutting

Ensure the Bryant roofer you select is a professional. Here's how:

To help ease the burden, Hometown Roofing Contractors has pre-qualified the Bryant roofing contractors appearing on this page for you. We have confirmed a valid state license (if required by your state), liability insurance certificate, and strong workmanship guarantee.

These documents were valid at the time of the screening, but changes could have occurred since, so it's always appropriate to ask for evidence of credentials at the time of the roofing estimate.

• Ask to see the contractors license (if required in your state) and make sure that the license is current
• Ask to see the roofing contractor's insurance certificates
• Ask if the roofer has any other affiliations or certifications that give an indication of quality
• Ask for their address to see if they are locally based. Storm chasers in from out of town may be less accountable than a Bryant roofing contractor that has a local repuation to protect
• Ask what materials the roofer specializes in
• Ask the roofing company for references in the area

Learn the basics of roofing warranties

There are two types of warranties that Bryant roofing contractors may present you with:

1. Roofing Materials Warranty - These warranties are not actually offered by the roofing contractor, though the contractor can educate you on the different durations and types. Materials warranties are offered by the manufacturer of the materials you select. Whether you're installing a new metal roof, shingle roof, or tile roof, the materials used are typically guaranteed for anywhere from 10 years to a lifetime. Quality manufacturers such as GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning and others all offer warranties on their materials. The duration of the warranty depends on the grade of material you select.
2. Workmanship Warranty - These warranties are offered directly by the Bryant roofing company and typically protect the property owner against roof leaks or other issues caused by improper installation. Duration of these warranties often varies between 1 year up to 10 years. Be sure to get any guarantees or warranties offered by your hired roof contractor in writing to protect yourself.
