The roof is the reason everyone and everything in your house is able to remain stable. So if you don’t get it repaired correctly, who or what can be safe or at peace? When there’s damage to your roof, a professional contractor is what you need to make your house a home again. If a certain contractor has all three of the things listed below, you know it will be:

• References– It’s extremely difficult to argue with a statement when so many people are repeating it. That’s why things like government seats and entertainment awards are determined by popular choice. It’s also the reason why so many companies have “testimonial” pages on their websites. On these pages, there are usually a dozen success stories from either happy, or displeased past customers.
• Insurance– Failure is an inevitable part of life. No one’s exempt from it, not even the most successful contractors in the industry. We all can make great efforts to avoid it, but it’ll still happen now and then. To quote Ben Franklin, “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.” Make sure your roofer is prepared in case anything goes wrong.
• Specifications– If a roofer doesn’t understand the physical nature of the roof they’re working with, how can they know how to handle it? Not all roofs are the same. Check to see if your contractor has blueprints for your specific roof.
