Things to Ask Your Roofer’s References Before Hiring Them

When considering several potential contractors to hire for your external upgrade, one crucial step in the process is to reach out to the roofer’s references. Yet, many homeowners fail to take this step or they simply do not ask the right questions when talking to references. References are your key to learning more about the contractor’s quality of work, so it’s crucial to ask the right questions.

 

 

 Roofer’s References Before Hiring Them

 

Versatile Roofing, the most trusted provider of residential and commercial roofing in the region, shares key questions you should ask a roofer’s references.

 

  • “How was your experience with this roofer?” - Roofing projects take time to complete, and it’s essential to know whether or not it’ll be easy working with your prospective roofer for the whole project duration. A lot of things could go wrong when repairing or replacing your roof, so your relationship with your contractor should be the last thing to worry you.

 

  • “Will you hire them again?” - Keep in mind that a roofing contractor’s references are usually their favorite customers. Get a deeper insight into the roofer’s work ethic by asking references whether they’d be willing to hire the contractor again. If the reference mentions that they’ve hired this particular roofer for the same jobs over and over again, take it as a red flag. This might mean shoddy workmanship or a propensity for ripping off customers.

 

  • “Were they willing to listen to you?” - Nothing is worse than hiring a roofer who is unwilling to take the time to listen to your needs and to answer your questions. So, it’s important to ask the references whether or not the roofing contractor was willing to listen and to engage in a two-way conversation where their opinions were valued.
