Planning a siding upgrade can be overwhelming, especially for first-timers. However, this should not be the case with the assistance of a reliable roofing and siding contractor. Remember that the success of your project heavily depends on who will carry it out. That is why you should carefully evaluate the company you intend to hire. 

Continue reading to learn more about the things you should look for in a siding contractor.

License or Registration

Most states require contractors to register or obtain a license at the state, county, or city level. Proof of ownership or registration ensures that you're working with a legitimate contractor rather than a transient one who will disappear after receiving the initial payment. 

Installation Warranty 

Remember that the ideal siding warranty should provide two types of protection. The factory warranty covers manufacturing flaws, whereas the installation or workmanship warranty covers installation flaws. Make sure the residential roofing and siding contractor offers an installation warranty. Some manufacturers provide coverage for both factory defects and installation through certified contractors. In either case, your prospective contractor should provide you with an installation warranty as your assurance that installation errors will be corrected at little or no extra cost.

Insurance Coverage 

If something goes wrong during siding installation, a contractor's insurance can protect you from potential liability and additional expenses. Siding contractors should carry general liability insurance that covers property damage. They should also have workers' compensation insurance to cover worksite injuries. It should be easy for a contractor to provide a copy of their insurance certificate, and you should be able to contact their insurance provider to verify the details. Working with an uninsured siding contractor puts you at risk of paying out of pocket if any accident occurs on your property during the project.
