Foolproof Way to Hire a Roofing Contractor:
To hire a roofer CAN be a bit risky but there are three very easy things to check right at the start to eliminate a huge percentage of bogus roofers and increase the chance of getting a top quality roofing contractor for your work.
1. Contractors State License Board.
First off verify an active roofing contractors license.
Second check for complaints. Having worked as a consumer advocate for the Board, I know that it takes a pretty upset customer to actually file a complaint with the Board so when roofing companies have past complaints, resolved or not that's a bad sign.
Roofers do not need to be "accredited" (they don't pay fees to BBB) by the BBB in order to have a rating with them! Check the contractors BBB rating and again, have there been complaints?
3. Customer Reviews.
Check roofer reviews on Yelp (hardest to fake reviews than any other site.)
Follow these 3 steps and you will be miles ahead in your search for a good roofing contractor.
