Roofing Contractor Red Flags: Watch for These

Are you in the process of searching for a roofing contractor? From a repair to a total replacement, there may come a time when you need to locate a contractor who can provide all the assistance you require (in a timely manner).

Unfortunately, there are many “contractors” out there who don’t have the best interest of the client in mind. Instead, all they’re worried about is getting their money and moving to the next job.

Here are three roofing contractor red flags to watch out for:

·      Pushing for money upfront. While there’s nothing wrong with providing a deposit on a big project, any contractor that continually pushes for full payment upfront is one that you should be leery of.

·      No reviews or references. Does the contractor have any positive online reviews? Are they able to provide references from past clients? If the answer to both questions is no, you should begin to wonder about their experience and knowledge.

·      Can’t answer your questions. You hire a roofing contractor for their expertise and professional service. If a person can’t answer your questions upfront, you can’t trust them to do the job.

By watching for these red flags you’ll find it much easer to create a short list of roofing contractors you can actually trust. From there, it’s much easier to make a final decision.
