How to Choose a Roofing Contractor

A few checks up front save most of the headaches that come with a roofing job:

• Get the bid in writing. A written estimate should spell out tear-off vs. overlay, decking replacement, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, material, and total price — not just a verbal number. Compare at least two or three bids for the same defined scope so you are comparing like for like.
• Verify licensing and insurance. Confirm the contractor is registered to do business in Delaware and carries general liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. Ask for proof and confirm it is current before work starts.
• Ask for a written scope of work. The scope should specify the material and manufacturer, whether decking will be replaced if rotted, flashing and ventilation details, and cleanup terms. A vague scope is where change orders and disputes start.
• Check references and recent work. Ask to see a job completed in the last year, ideally one that has been through a winter, since ice-dam and wind performance separate a properly installed roof from a cheap one.
• Understand the warranty. A roofing job usually carries two warranties — a manufacturer warranty on materials and a separate workmanship warranty from the installer. Get both in writing and know what voids each one.
