Roofing Contractors in Concord, NC

Choosing a Concord Roofing Company

Hiring a professional roofing contractor in Concord should be simple. We've provided a few helpful questions and answers to guide you through the process.

Does your roofer have professional credentials and a proven track record?

How long has the roofing contractor been in business? Does the contractor have any third party or manufacturer certifications?

Can the roofer provide references from roof replacements or new roof installations in your area? If you don't know anyone personally that has used a particular roofer, it's not a bad idea to call a couple references to make sure they are satisfied with the roofer's work.

How can I be certain that a Concord roofer is licensed and insured?

The best approach is to ask for the roofing company representative to provide their license and insurance certificates at the time of the roofing estimate.

At Hometown Roofing Contractors, we try to give you a good head start in the process of assessing Concord roofers. We prescreen roofing contractors to confirm that a workmanship warranty is offered and that the roofing company has the appropriate state license (if required by your state) and liability insurance.

It's possible that the roof contractor's license or insurance status could have changed since our original screening. So, it's still very important to ask to see evidence of the roofers' license and insurance certificates at the time of your estimate.

How do I know if a particular Concord roofing contractor is the best for my project?

Just because a contractor has a roofing license or contractors license does not guarantee quality workmanship or that a particular roofer has the right skill set for your project. Think about the requirements for your particular project. Most experienced roofers have the skills necessary for a shingle roof replacement or roof repair. But if you're planning on a residential or commercial roofing project that will be using a material other than shingles, you may want to find a roofing specialist for that particular material or roof style.

Installing metal roofing or commercial roofing is a completely different process than the installation of asphalt shingles. So, if you prefer to install a new metal roof, find a contractor that has demonstrated expertise as a metal roofer. The same goes for tile roofing, slate roofs, flat roofs, shake roofs, or any other specialty material... find a roofing specialist for that kind of material.

Simple steps to selecting a quality roofing company in Concord

1. Contact one or more Concord roofers and request a roofing estimate.
2. Interview the roofing company representative. If they don't provide it up front, ask for evidence of license and insurance certificates. Also, do they guarantee their workmanship? Is the estimate and the guarantee in writing? If you're getting a complete roof replacement, ask the contractor if they will provide a couple recent homeowner or business owner references from other Concord re-roofing projects.
3. Contact the references to see if they were happy with the quality of the roof contractor's work
4. Select the contractor that you trust and offers you the best overall value. Value includes quality and price. Don't automatically choose the roofer with the lowest price. There are a lot of "fly-by-night" roofing contractors out there that may provide a low bid and then proceed to provide you poor service and a poorly done roof. Select the contractor that is trustworthy, offers professional credentials, and a fair price.
