The cost to replace a roof costs between $4,900 – $14,000, depending on many factors.

Consider the following prior to choosing a roofing company.

Insurance

• You need to be sure your contractor has worker’s compensation and liability insurance.
• Ask to see the certificates and call the insurance company to see if they are valid.
• This is fair to all companies providing bids, as part of the cost of the roof, and the service provided is protected with insurance coverage.

Choose A Local Company

• Make sure the company is not just operating locally but has an established reputation within the community.
• It is not possible to get a company to honor a five-year warranty if they are no longer in business.
• The warranty is only as good as the reputation of the roofing contractor.
• Consider hiring a reputable roofing company such as IKO Roofing.

Price

• Never choose a contractor based on price alone.
• Cheap bids can drive the market down. Those with overhead and proper insurance need to adjust their pricing to cover these costs.
• People working as roofers on the side or working out of a truck can do the work cheaper. But remember, you get what you pay for.
• Avoid Storm Chasers
• Dismiss the knock on the door from the individual that says they were in the neighborhood. They are canvassing for business.
• A referral based on word of mouth, or a sign in a yard that has a happy client at the end, is the proper way to pick a roofer.
• Get Details Of The Job In Writing
• Make sure the terms of the payment that was discussed are clear.
• Ask how long the job will take.
• Ask for a completion date.
• Ask what size crew you can expect.

Do not release payment until they complete the work to your satisfaction.

Communication

• Do they return your calls?
• Did they send the paperwork they promised to send?
• Do they follow through?
• If the answer is no, communicate this to their company representative.
• If you cannot get what you need on the front end, consider what will happen once you have committed the project to them.
