How To Choose The Right Contractor For Emergency Repair

When your roof is severely damaged in a storm, it’s important to find the right contractor for the job.

After getting in touch with your insurance company to find out what your deductible is, you’ll need to hire a roofing contractor to do emergency repairs. Keep in mind this contractor’s work can impact the future condition of your roof. Find out what you should look for when you need roofing work done on your Atlanta home.

Certifications

The roofing company you choose should be well-certified. This helps to ensure you’re getting quality work done on your roof. A couple examples of certifications a reliable roofer may have are CertainTeed Master Shingle Applicator and GAF Master Elite Contractor.

Local Business

Having a local roofing contractor handle your roof repairs means you don’t have to worry if they will be around when you need them again. Whether you need continued maintenance or run into warranty repairs, a local roofing contractor will be right there to provide you with service.

Honest and Upfront

Any roofing contractor who offers high-quality, dependable work should always be honest and upfront about the details of the project. This includes being honest about how long repairs should take, how much the project should cost and what kinds of repairs are needed.

Work with Your Insurance Company

The roofing company you hire should be cooperative about working with your insurance company. However, they shouldn’t make you feel you have to sign over your rights with your insurance.

Thorough Job

You should look for a roofing contractor who will recommend all of the repairs your roof needs in order to protect your home from the elements. Keep in mind this might include repairs your insurance company does not cover.

Open Communication

The right roofing contractor should communicate with you throughout the project, such as letting you know right away if there are any delays. They should also be easy to work with and be willing to answer any questions you have about the repairs being made on your roof.
