Save Some Money with these Great Roofing Tips
Roofing might be a problem for someone who owns a home, especially when there is poor insulation or leaks
Tip: 1 GET YOUR TREES TRIMMED TO PREVENT HARMING YOUR ROOF
This will prevent any branches from scuffing the surface of your roof, which could eventually lead to more serious problems. This also helps prevent any fungus or mold from growing on your roof
Tip: 2 Clean Out your Gutters
The gutters of your home can easily become clogged, and can be a major cause of leaks, especially if they have not been cleaned recently. If you see they are filled with debris, like leaves, be sure to clean it out
Tip: 3 Check out your Roofer’s Credibility
Consulting the Better Business Bureau. • Asking for three references that you can contact. • Verify their contact information • Make sure any roofer that you hire has the licensing necessary to do the work
Tip: 4 CHECK THE WRITTEN ESTIMATE THEY GIVE YOU
Make sure to document when your project starts, the estimation of when it’s to be completed, and what payments are made
Tip: 5 DO NOT HIRE THE FIRST ROOFER THAT YOU TALK TO
The only way to get the best deal is to talk to several different people and see what your options are
Tip: 6 ONLY HIRE A CONTRACTOR WHO OFFERS EMERGENCY SERVICES IN THEIR CONTRACT
If a tarp blows off in a storm or your roof caves in, you need to know that someone from the company will show up to fix the problem right away
Tip: 7 MAKE SURE THEY GIVE FREE ESTIMATES
The estimate process shouldn’t be overlooked when calculating expenses and scheduling repairs
Tip: 8 CHOOSE THE RIGHT ROOFING MATERIAL FOR YOU
There are several factors to consider when choosing a roofing material. For example, asphalt shingles tend to be the cheapest, but they deteriorate quickly and aren’t environmentally friendly
Tip: 9 PREPARE YOUR HOME BEFORE THE ROOF CONTRACTOR
By marking your sprinkler systems and letting the contractors know where they can park. Remove lawn furniture and consider taking your cars out of the driveway
