When it comes to selecting an experienced roofing contractor, it is important to take into account the type of quality they can provide to keep you, your family, and your personal belongings safe.

Here are our top ten steps to choosing the right residential roofing contractor in Pittsburgh: Find Three roofing contractors. Act as though you are getting ready to hire a new employee (in essence you are). If you make a bad decision at this point, the rest of the decisions to follow in this process will be affected. Give yourself the best possible choices and the opportunity to have a fantastic experience with your new roofer. Ensure that your roofing contractor carries the appropriate business licenses for the state and within your local area. If you’re not sure about their licensing, you can always contact the licensing board for the profession in your state. You can also find the licensing website to see if a license is required in your area. Make sure you are considering a legitimate roofing contractor by asking for their tax identification number, business address, website, and email address. Of course, you will also have their business phone number. Ask the roofing contractor to show you their proof of insurance which should include worker’s compensation and liability coverage. Not all states require insurance, however, keep in mind that injuries on your property are your responsibility, so ensuring your roofer carries his own insurance for accidents while working on your home can protect you from lawsuits. Require a list of references from your residential roofing contractor from past clients. You can also research the reviews left online on multiple review sites or by checking out the Better Business Bureau site for complaints. You can also call the BBB to find out more about the company as well. Ensure that the products your roofer is installing on your home are those that the roofer is certified to install. As the roofing contractor for proof of being approved by the particular roofing manufacturer whose materials will be used during the installation for your home. Many roofing materials and manufacturers offer training and certifications for their materials to ensure proper installation. Without proper installation for most products, warranties are void. Confirm the number of roofers who will be working on the roofing project. This will allow you to assess how much supervision is needed and approximately how long the roofing job will take. If you have one person doing a large roof, you can expect the job to take longer than 3 to 5 people on a large roof. Ask to read the roofing warranty information and make sure that you and the roofing contractor understand it. Ensure that all items required will be addressed in order to ensure a viable warrantied product once in place. Ask for a detailed proposal in writing on the job that will be performed by the roofing contractor. The contract should include the type of material to be used, the time it will take, the start and end times each day, the safety procedures and precautions to be taken, the amount of payment due and the payment schedule, and how the property will be cleaned up when the work is completed. Be sure to research and obtain the service, fees, and warranties from several residential roofing contractors BEFORE you make your final hiring decision. Hiring solely based on the lowest bid price is not always the best bet, as the lower costs may not provide the same value as a contractor who may bid at a slightly higher price point.

We perform roofing estimates year-round. We have met with many different homeowners who have different concerns, needs or wants in their new roof. We gathered our sales team and put together some of the more popular questions that are usually asked while at an estimate and also to give you an idea if you are getting an estimate and are unsure of what to ask. Q: How long you have been in business? A: Knowing how long a company has been in business can give you an idea of how credible a company can be. A company that has been in business for 10 plus years should have many reviews and belong to different credible companies such as Angie's list and maintain high ratings. If the reviews and ratings aren't the best or not up to your standards then chances are they are not the company for you. Doing research on a company shouldn't be hard. Mostly everyone uses the internet for reviews and information on a company before even calling that company. If a company has been in business for under 10 years, it is not necessarily a red flag. While doing your research on the company take into consideration how many different sites their name comes up on under the search engine you choose. Do they engage in social media? Social media is a great way for homeowners to keep in touch and gather information about the company they are researching. Do they engage with their Facebook community? Do they post often or run specials/contests to show how your business is appreciated? Has the company grown or bettered itself in the years they have been in business? How long a company has been in business shouldn't be a number one factor in your decision-making, what they have accomplished in the years they have been around is more of the question that should be asked. Q: What warranties do you offer? A: Warranties are a huge factor in deciding on the company and roof your choose to be installed. Most companies offer some sort of material warranty, but most do not cover the workmanship. 90% of roofs fail due to poor installation. For example, our company, EAS Roofing, is a 5-star Select Shingle Master with CertainTeed. This is the highest level of achievement through CertainTeed. We offer a 50-year warranty on our shingles and also a 10-year non-prorated warranty on workmanship, which means CertainTeed has trained and trusts we install the material to their roofing system standards so much that they will also replace the roof if the material is installed poorly, even if the material is up to their standards. If a company has a poor warranty chances are their work and material will also be poor. Q: Do you have insurance? A: To be a certified company and have a license you must have insurance. Always ask this. If the contractor is trying to cover up the question or isn't upfront about insurance, it is not the company for you. Roofing is a dangerous job, and if someone gets hurt on your property without insurance, you would be held responsible for any damages. Always make sure your contractor isn't hesitant or "shady" when you ask this question. It will save you many headaches in the future if something did happen. Q: Do you use Sub-contractors? A: When homeowners hear "sub-contractors" it usually gives them a bad or worried feeling. Not all sub-contractors are bad, as long as the company they work for has trained them to their standards and keeps up on the quality of the work they do. We do use sub-contractors. We also have project managers who are our trained employees and they stay on the job and inspect everything that goes on. They make sure the work is being done to our standards. Some companies will just send anyone to get the work done and this is why sub-contractors have gotten a "bad-wrap"; not all install poorly. As a homeowner, you want to feel comfortable with who is working on your home. That is also why we have our employees on the job as well to ensure the same comfort you felt when we came to provide you with an estimate, and when you chose to hire us. Q: How are you different from other companies? A: This is a popular question we get asked. You want to know what makes our company different from the other 50 roofers in the area. Look for investments, such as vehicles and equipment. For example, we invested in a machine called the Equipter a few years back. We were so happy with the machine and so were our homeowners that we invested in another this year. We have also invested in 2 vans strictly for service repairs. They are equipped and loaded with all the material needed to do the most common roof repairs. We also have invested in 3 work trucks for our project managers to work out of. These are also equipped with all the materials needed to roof replacements, such as tools, generators, brakes to bend metal, and tear-off shovels. Also, take into consideration the awards and achievements the company took time to earn. Have they attended any classes or conventions to better themselves in the trade? These are all little extras that show how dedicated a company is to its industry. Q: Do you offer Financing? A: Offering financing is a convenience for homeowners. Not all homeowners are aware of how much a roof costs nowadays, it can be a huge surprise when given an estimate. Financing is usually made with a third-party company and does come at a charge or a portion of the loan is deducted for them. I'm not saying since a company doesn't offer to finance it isn't credible, but if it is an option then that company took the extra time to register with a company to make it easier for a homeowner to be able to afford a new roof for their home.
