How to Choose a Roofing Contractor

April 5, 2011 - PRLog -- Choosing a roofing contractor to install a new roof or fix a leak can be a daunting task. How do you know that you can trust your roofer to do a great job, to clean up afterwards, and to charge a fair price? Often, you will hire a roofing contractor when you have a roofing emergency—your roof is leaking and you need help as soon as possible. You need to know that the person on the other end of the phone is trustworthy. Here are some things to look for when choosing your roofing contractor.

What should you look for in a roofing contractor?

License

Licenses show that a roofing contractor has experience and legitimacy. At a minimum, every roofing contractor should be licensed to do roofing in the state in which he or she works. MidAtlantic Contracting is Class-A licensed and insured to do roofing and other building and home restoration projects in the Fairfax, Springfield, Manassas, Annandale, Woodbridge, VA, and Washington, DC areas.

Previous Projects

One of the best ways to check on a roofing contractor’s reliability and services is by checking out their previous projects. A good roofing contractor should be able to provide a portfolio of pictures from existing projects for you to look at, and also some references from other satisfied customers. At MidAtlantic Contracting, we have our portfolio of roofing projects right on our website so you can see some of the quality work we have done in the past. We are also happy to provide further references upon request.

Experience Level

When you have a roofing emergency, you need to be sure that your roofing contractor knows how to handle it. Choosing a roofer who has ten years or more of experience increases the chances that they know what they’re doing. MidAtlantic Contracting is a family-owned business that has been doing roofing and other building and home restoration for 30 years. Our attention to detail and customer satisfaction keep our clients returning, year after year.

Ability to do Large and Small Roofing Projects

An expert roofing contractor should have experience doing all types of roofing jobs, from repairing leaky skylights and replacing flashing, to handling installation and new construction. At MidAtlantic Contracting, we have 30 years of experience handling roofing jobs of any size, including re-roofing, fascia and soffit repair, attic ventilation, shingle repair, total roof installation, gutter installation, skylights, and more. MidAtlantic Contracting is the local expert at installing energy-efficient roofing, which saves money and helps the environment. We also clean gutters as part of our maintenance program.

Price

Your roofing contractor should be offering marketplace rates reflective of experience.  At MidAtlantic Contracting, you can count on competitive rates and reliable service. And if you are not satisfied with a roofing job, we will come and fix it at no additional charge. For further savings, MidAtlantic Contracting, is currently running an Internet special for $200 off a roof installation.
