Christian Brothers Roofing

When it comes to roof repairs or replacements, you need to make sure the contractor you hire is qualified and experienced. Entrusting the project to a team with no proper credentials won’t guarantee the successful outcome you’re trying to achieve.  

As you interview prospective contractors, be sure to ask these questions.

“Do I Need to Acquire a Building Permit?”

In most states, the permit required for roof replacement is the same document you need for any major construction work on your home. However, if you’re only carrying out minor roof repairs, you don’t need to secure a permit. Either way, an experienced and trustworthy roofer will advise you about building code permit requirements and acquire one on your behalf if needed. 

“Will You Remove My Old Roof?”

Make sure you ask this question to your prospective roofers. This will let you know if they plan on cutting corners by simply installing new shingles over the old ones. Take note that an experienced roofer will always remove the old roof before placing a new one. This way, they can determine whether or not there are issues hiding underneath the shingles. Hidden problems can lead to costly repairs, so it’s important for your roof to be inspected thoroughly.

“Will You Cover the Roof Under Construction Before Leaving?”

During the replacement, a reliable roofer will always ensure that your home is properly protected from the elements. This means they won’t strip your roof more than necessary each day and will cover the open areas before leaving at the end of each work day. Doing so protects your interior from damage in case of bad weather. Once the entire project is completed, they should also get rid of stripped shingles and make sure there are no hazardous items left on the lawn and garden.
