How to Check Your Roofing Contractor’s References

Hiring a team of roofing contractors to get a repair or installation job done shouldn’t be a difficult task. The true challenge will lie in making sure you’re dealing with true professionals. One way to do this is to get in touch with their references. In this post, GO Construction Services, LLC shares what you should look at when interacting with those who’ve worked with them in the past:

1. Research their license and insurance. Verify if your contractor has a copy of their general liability policy. This is an essential thing you must consider. Hiring a licensed contractor will protect you in the event of a dispute. Most licensing boards also mandate a roofer to provide up-to-date insurance documents to their clients.
2. Know what their suppliers say. Ask for references from their long-time material suppliers. Remember that your potential roofer’s financial capability is important. If your contractor doesn’t pay their bills, you may have to pay the bill yourself. So, you want to verify that they pay their bills – on time and in full.
3. Check their clients’ feedback. Ask your potential contractor for references from their recent projects. As they are likely to provide their favorite clients, this list may only contain satisfied customers. Check reviews on their website or any platforms possible. This way, you are able to assess how they work and provide service. Moreover, you can always consider choosing a contractor that’s been in the business for a significant amount of time. It can be noted that credible roofers are keen on being transparent about why some projects didn’t work out as planned.
