What you need to know about your roof after a Florida hurricane.

After a storm or a hurricane, we receive many calls from concerned building owners. At Don Schmidt Roofing, we understand the importance of having the right information when you need it most. The following information is recommended by the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA).

 

Often following a natural disaster, unprofessional contractors will try to take advantage of unsuspecting homeowners. If it is necessary to hire a roofing contractor for roof repairs, you should keep a healthy skepticism about the lowest bid. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Price is only one criterion for selecting a professional roofing contractor; professionalism and quality workmanship also must be considered. Take some time to evaluate potential contractors before any re-roofing work begins.

 

A professional roofing contractor should have:

 

A permanent place of business

 

Knowledge of various roof systems

 

Proof of insurance and an effective safety program

 

Evidence of industry professionalism, such as proof of training, manufacturer certifications, association membership, business account balance statement, etc.

 

Continuing industry education

 

Financial stability

 

A written proposal

 

A license and/or be bonded

 

Warranties

 

References in your state (Proceed with caution if the contractor only provides out-of-state references.)

 

A maintenance programs

 

Beware of a contractor:

 

Whose references are all out of state

 

Who only wants cash

 

Who wants money before materials are on site

 

Who offers “specials” or “extra-cheap” work
