Good planning and an experienced professional are two important factors that contribute to a successful roof replacement. Hiring a local roofer is generally recommended because of the team’s familiarity with local weather patterns and experience in serving the local community.
Nevertheless, make sure you still ask these three important questions to ensure you’re hiring the best contractor for the job.
1. How Long Will It Take to Replace My Roof?
Roofs come in all shapes and sizes, so the duration of a roof installation varies. If you have a big roof area, you can expect it to be finished later than a small-sized roof. An average roof takes at least one to three days to be completed. But if your roofer discovered hidden roofing issues or the weather suddenly turned bad, the installation could take longer.
2. Should I Stay at Home During Roof Replacement?
Your roofer will likely encourage you to stay somewhere else during the replacement to avoid accidents and disruptions to your work or daily routine. For your comfort and convenience, find a temporary residence where you won’t have to deal with the noise and mess of construction.
In case you can’t move out and need to stay while the roofers replace your roof, inform them about your decision. Then, create a plan to ensure your comfort as much as possible. Ensure they also have safety measures in place to protect you from accidents and property damage.
3. What Types of Roof Do You Install?
Most roofers are greatly familiar with installing asphalt shingle roofs, but some specialize in other roof materials like clay tiles, slate, metal roofing and commercial roofing. Ask this question if you plan on replacing your asphalt roof with something else.
